Sacred to the Lakota, the Black Hills was part of the land reserved for them in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868.

In 1875, scientists Henry Newton and Walter Jenney conducted an expedition and confirmed the rumors. By 1876, the trickle of prospectors and settlers coming to the Black Hills was a flood. The US government realized that keeping the interlopers out was impossible, and in 1877 the Black Hills was officially opened to settlement.

You do not have to be a treasure hunter to enjoy these books!The state of South Dakota - and especially, the Black Hills - are rich in American history and possibilities for lost treasure. As settlers, gold seekers, and adventurers moved into Dakota Territory with the discovery of gold in the Black Hills, the U.S. Army followed to provide protection from the tribes determined to defend their lands against the encroaching settlers. Sites to explore include: former Native Americans camps and villages; the forts and other military establishments that housed the soldiers sent to protect emigrants from Native American attacks; farms and ranches where white people first settled the land; and, finally, anywhere prospectors roamed the hills and canyons in search of gold. There were trails and wagon roads criss-crossing the state of South Dakota and the Black Hills. Early on, gold from the Black Hills was transported by stagecoach to be taken further by train. Also, over these trails was freighted supplies needed by the mining camps and other settlements. Towns sprang up around the stage routes to serve the needs of the travelers, workers, and local residents. Most of these hastily mushrooming towns vanished as the railroads pushed westward. Any settlement along the old pioneer trails and the developing railroads, holds the possibility for lost treasure. And, more importantly, this is where history happened.
