Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mines and Mining in the Black Hills South Dakota as a state presents some striking features. In the matter of altitude there are wide divergencies. Big Stone Lake is only 967 feet above sea level, nearly 200 feet lower than Omaha, and Harney Peak towers up feet. There are plains as level as a floor along james river valley, and narrow canons hundreds of feet deep in the Black Hills. There are areas where for scores of square miles one searches in vain for a stone, and there are districts which present an almost unbroken surface of rock, and barren places there are which are so saturated with acids and mineral solutions as to be utterly worthless; and again, there are a few ancient lake beds, forever decaying, barren and desolate - Bad Lands, as they are aptly termed. The Black Hills proper have an area of about square miles, and their true limit is marked distinctly by a sharp ridge of sandstone 300 to 600 feet in height. This ridge is separated from the higher part of the Hills within by Red valley. The altitude of the Hills runs from 3. 500 to feet. Ten of the geologic ages are represented in the rock formation of this wonderful region and the scientists say that but two of the universal organic elements are lacking here and that this condition does not exist anywhere else in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising out of the prairie, the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming had long been rumored to have promising quantities of gold. Sacred to the Lakota, the Black Hills was part of the land reserved for them in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. However, the tide of prospectors seeking their fortune in the Black Hills was difficult to stem. Members of the 1874 Custer expedition, lead by Gen. George Armstrong Custer, found gold. 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. In this sequel to their Black Hills Gold Rush Towns book, the authors expand their coverage of Black Hills towns during the gold-rush era.
