Download or read book Fall River County and Hot Springs written by Peggy Sanders and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fall River County has a history built around water. Early industries, such as the Refinite Mineral Processing Plant at Ardmore, were built to enhance the water; other businesses--bathhouses in Hot Springs and Edgemont, the Michael J. Fitzmaurice Veterans Home (originally named the Soldiers Home), and the VA Black Hills Medical Center (known by longtime residents as the Battle Mountain Sanitarium) in Hot Springs--were established here because naturally warm water and the moderate climate enhanced their missions. Back in the day, small towns had flour mills, creameries, and ice companies, and the towns flourished with each industrial boom. Out in the county, on the government-run experimental farm, crops were tested and people attended agricultural classes and meetings. Oil wells were drilled, sandstone was quarried, and farmers and ranchers worked the land and the cattle. Through the years, county residents have been warm and welcoming, much like the water.
Download or read book When Hot Springs Was a Pup written by Charles Badger Clark and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Badger Clark was already famous when he wrote "When Hot Springs Was a Pup", likely a fund-raising project for the local Kiwanis Club in 1927. Clark extolled the virtues and foibles of his little community on the edge of the Black Hills, from its beginnings as a Lakota place of healing to its current status as a destination resort. Hot Springs, South Dakota is still a unique, thriving community, home to artists, craftspeople and the world-famous Evans Plunge.Charles Badger Clark Jr., known as Badger Clark, became the first poet laureate of South Dakota in 1937. He lived and worked in his cabin, dubbed "The Badger Hole", until his death in 1957, writing poems and humorous short stories depicting the cowboy life. Self-described as a "poet lariat", he enjoyed spinning his tales for audiences across the country, as he became a much sought-after speaker for events ranging from rural junior high and high school graduations to women's club meetings.Except for added electricity, the cabin remains as it was when Badger Clark died at age 74. In summer, volunteers show visitors how simply the poet lived, with kerosene lamps, and a storage box below the kitchen where he kept perishable food and ice when he could afford it. His boots are lined up as if he had just walked out the door, and a table holds the typewriter on which he composed poems. Above his fireplace hands a saying recalling his hospitality as well as the time he spent in Cuba. "Mi Casa Es Suya": My house is yours.Expanded edition with over 100 photographs and notes by the editors.Historian and author Peggy Sanders and author Linda M. Hasselstrom worked together to create this text to bring Badger Clark's words to a new audience. This updated and revised edition contains additional notes and commentary; a biographical sketch of Clark, "Requiem for a Cowboy Poet", by Peggy Sanders; and a timeline of Badger's life. The book provides an abundance of detail on the early days of Hot Springs, with over 100 historical photographs, maps and illustrations.

It is the home of the Crazy Horse Monument. Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park, where the Civilian Conservation Corps left many legacies, are here as well.

The only thing missing is the aroma of sawmills in operation that used to permeate Custer City. As the Custer Chamber of Commerce says, "You should see the Hills from here."
