night the Indians gave way to a gold crazed throng. Wi ld. riotous days fol-lowed and the Black Hil ls echoed to the deeds of many who wrote bold pas-

"THE MOUNTAINS THAT ARE BLACK'TN THE beginning, the Black Hills were a1 dome-shaped uplift apparently distinctand separate from the upheaval i n theearth's crust that created the Rocky Moun-tains and the Big Horns. Ages of wind andweather have carved out of this mass ofschists, conglomerates, quartzites, l ime-stones, porphyry and granites an undupli-cated array of precipitous crags, roll ingplateaus, sheer-walled canyons, parklikevalleys, limestone cliffs, sandstone ridgesand fantastic, needle-pointed monoliths.

Rising abruptly from a vastexpanse of South Dakotaplain, the Black Hi l ls arefavored with abundant rain-fall and luxurious vegetationthat make them an oasis in asemi-arid region. The ridgesand valleys are heavily tim-bered with yellow pine (sometowering 100 feet), spruce,aspen, burr oak, white elm,ironwood, cottonwood andcedar. Wild flowers grow inlush profusion. Sheltered byits peaks from the hot windsof summer and the f r i g idblasts of winter, the regionhas a modera te c l ima tethroughout the year.

Wildlife and, in time, man-kind found the Hills a desir-able habitat. The dawn ofhistory saw the reg ion astronghold of the Sioux, andcarvings on rocks and otherevidence hints that an ancientcivi l izat ion inhabi ted theregion ages before that. Need le ' s -E

The earlier surges of westward emigra-tion passed by the Black Hills, leaving theIndian in undisturbed possession until thediscovery of gold at Custer in 1874 sent ahorde of frenzied white men stampedinginto the territory. There followed the hell-roaring days of Deadwood Gulch, but theBlack Hills today is essentially a lumbering,livestock and mining region embracing afew small but fertile farming areas.

Although the Black Hills remain sparselysettled and unspoiled, i t is a region cele-

brated for i ts magnificentrecreational highways andthe variety of its accommoda-tions for vacationists. Roadshave been built with the ideaof preserving and adding to,if possible, the pr im i t i vecharm and scenic beauty ofthe country. Motor buses ofthe Black Hills TransportationCompany operate on fre-quent schedules over prac-tically all of the main roadsin the Hills, permitting vaca-tionists to scan the wholeregion quickly or to progressaccording to whim from onebeauty spot to another.

For the visitor there areluxurious lodges and modestresorts, even cottages or cab-ins that may be rented by theweek o r season. M o d e r nhotels at Rapid City and Dead-wood also constitute basesfrom which trips through theHills may be made.ye T u n n e l

CUSTER M T . COOLIDGEA TACATIONISTS entering the Black Hills by wayV of Newcastle enjoy a fitting introduction to the

romantic scenic region at Custer, S. D., first settle-ment in the Hills and named in honor of MajorGeneral George A . Custer, commander o f thevaliant 7th Cavalry, sent to the Hills on a recon-naissance in 1874. His mission was to determinethe feasibility of a military post, to confirm reportsof gold, and to map and explore the region.

In picturesque Custer—once called Stonewall—may be seen the monument erected to the memoryof Horatio N. Ross, who, here in '74, discoveredthe first precious yellow particles that speedilybrought on the frenzied gold rush which neitherthe fighting Sioux nor the army could stem.

Nearby also stands a monument to Annie Tallent,first white woman to enter the Hills, and an exactreplica of Gordon Stockade, where a desperatecompany of whites held out through the first longwinter in a strange, new land, only to be removedwith the coming of spring by a troop of the 2ndCavalry under Captain Mix. The Hills were stillIndian territory and the whites had no rights there.

tance beyond stands State Game Lodge, wherethe late President Calvin Coolidge had his summerWhite House in 1927.

Dominating the skyline of the southern Hills isMount Coolidge, from whose summit—reached bya fine automobile road—may be beheld an awe-inspiring panorama 125 miles in diameter. East-ward, almost at one's feet, are tumbled hills, thenthe weirdly carved Bad Lands, and finally, extend-ing t o disappear over the horizon, the gentlyundulating plains.

Southward and westward, one may gaze overPine Ridge and far out onto the Nebraska andWyoming prairie, while northward the jumble ofthe Black Hills obstructs distant views.

Adjoining Custer State Park on the South is WindCave National Park wi th i ts vast cavern con-taining miles of galleries, endless chambersadorned with fantastic formations and the strangephenomenon of the wind whistling back and forththrough its portals. The Park is one of the few placesin the world where you may see buffalo roamingacross unfenced countryside.

A few miles still farther south is Hot Springs, famedfor its curative waters since the days of the Indians,who called i t "mini-pazhuta"— healing waters.

Here the tri-umvirate of erosion—water, wind and frost—haverun rampant, fashioning we i rd and grotesqueforms in stone. Needle-like pinnacles, natural tun-nels, massive monoliths weathered into a thousandmonstrous forms and amusing shapes dot the land-scape. A n d through the heart o f this amazingregion, even tunneling through its rocky parapets,runs a marvelous motor highway, built "where aroad couldn't be built".

Towering above the Needles area to an altitudeof 7,242 feet is precipitous Harney Peak, highesteminence east of the Rocky Mountains. For thehardy climbers who will follow a well-marked trailto the fire lookout station atop its summit there isthe reward of a panorama of forest rolling away indescending undulations, of granite spires, o f dis-tant mountains, plains and towns.

MT. RUSHMORE MEMORIALBIGGER than the Statue of Liberty, the Sphinx,or the Colossus of Rhodes is the heroic sculp-ture now appearing on the granite brow of MountRushmore. Here likenesses of the faces of Wash-ington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt,measuring 60 feet from crown to chin, are beingblasted and drilled out of the mountainside underthe direction of the National Park Service. Three—Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln—are nearingcompletion, while the sculpturing of Roosevelt'sfeatures is a fascinating labor that enthralls everyvisitor to the Black Hills. Conceived in 1924 anddedicated b y President Coolidge i n 1927 as aNational Memorial, the colossal statues, with Gut-zon Borglum as sculptor, w i l l require years tocomplete. The head o f Jefferson was officiallyunveiled b y President Franklin D. Roosevelt i nSeptember, 1936.

In a studio standing at the foot of the mountain,visitors may inspect a miniature of the Memorial

Near Mount Rushmore is the picturesque oldmining town of Keystone, famed in early days;Rockerville Gulch, and Stratosphere Bowl, a hugenatural amphitheatre from where the National Geo-graphic Society's record-breaking balloon ascenttook off into the uncharted realms of upper space.

IMMORTAL DEADWOODGLITTERING with gold and golden adventureis the history of the region around immor-tal Deadwood.

Wild Bill Hickok, Deadwood Dick, Calamity Jane,Preacher Smith, Poker Alice, Bloody Gulch—thoseare names to conjure with in your imagination.

Fifty years ago Deadwood Gulch, the goldengulley where the city still stands, saw the daily en-actment of melodramas that were real. Deadwood!Old-time two-gun town crossroads of the frontierwhen the Wild West was wild m e e t i n g place ofmore notorious bad men than ever threw pokes ofgold dust on bars anywhere in the world.

Today you travel the old Gold Trail where maskedbandit bands and lone road agents laid in wait forthe madly lurching Deadwood stage with its pre-cious cargo of golden treasure.

A half century has passed, but Deadwood still isa gold town. Each summer at its Days of '76 Cele-bration, Deadwood's ghosts come back to re-livetheir hell-roaring pasts. And scarcely more than a

LEAD M T . ROOSEVELTstone's-throw away is the busy town of Lead, site ofthe fabulous Homestake, richest gold mine in theworld and still inexhaustibly producing millions inyellow metal each year.

Mine shafts, ever penetrating deeper and deeper,honeycomb the earth beneath Lead's streets, andwhole sections of the town have been evacuatedwhere twisted buildings and sagging pavementsthreaten to be swallowed by the caving ground.

Since 1875, Black Hills mines—chiefly the Home-stake—have y ie lded go ld wor th more than$300,000,000, and the current annual output of theHomestake averages approximately $17,000,000.

But the Deadwood region's lure is not confinedto i ts glamorous past. Nearby Mount TheodoreRoosevelt and Terry Peak, both ascended by motorroads, rear summits more than a mile high to affordbreath-taking views of the Hills and the surround-ing plains. And off to the East, claiming interest intheir own right, are Boulder Canyon, Sturgis, FortMeade and Crystal Cave.

SPEARFISH CANYON.NORTHERNMOST and distinctive with a sceniccharm of its own is the Spearfish section of theHills.

Cut sharply through the eternal rock is SpearfishCanyon, a thousand feet deep. Here are exquisiteRough Lock Falls, dashing Spearfish Falls, f i lmyBridal Veil Falls and a dozen lesser cataracts. Hereare giant spruce pointing dainty fingers toward ablue, blue sky.

Little wonder that such an entrancing region,both where the Canyon is precipitously walled and,further up, where it broadens into a parklike valley,is one of the most popular picnicking and recreationregions in the Hills and in America.

Resorts in this and other sections of the BlackHills supply vacationists with an all-around varietyof recreational activities. There is excellent troutfishing in large and small streams, and miles ofsaddle and hiking trails extend through wild andprimitive areas.

To the southwestward toward Newcastle is IceBox Canyon, a strange phenomenon which its nameimplies; Cold Springs Canyon, scene of one of the

Sadd le T r a i l s L e a d O f f t o I n v i t i n g Wi lde rnesses

LAND OF WATERFALLSmost hair-raising Black Hills stage robberies, andSalt Creek Canyon, also true to its name.

Northward is the town of Spearfish with its U. S.Fish Hatchery; Belle Fourche, scene of the annualBlack Hills Round-up, and the plains with distantspires and peaks jutting into the skyline.

South Dakota has an Indian population of 22,000,the largest in the Northwest. Aboriginal Americansare common sights in and around the Hills, and fewpublic celebrations are considered complete with-out a complement of red men in full regalia. ThePine Ridge and Rosebud Indian Reservations adjointhe Hills on the southeast, and the Cheyenne RiverReservation is only slightly farther away to thenortheast.

Not a geological part of the Black Hills but par-ticularly accessible from this region, are Devil'sTower, strange basalt-columned landmark of theWest towering a sheer 800 feet above the surround-ing forest and a source of amazement to mankindsince the dawn of history, and equally strangeInyan Kara, the "mountain within a mountain."

AMAZING BAD LANDSN O T EVEN in dreams is a weirder landscape tobe beheld than that which greets the visitorto Bad Lands National Monument—the famed BadLands of the White River Valley, which adjoin theBlack Hills on the east.

The printed page can suggest something of thefantastically eroded domes, pinnacles, minarettesand buttes that abound everywhere in this region,but only the actually present eye can catch thebeauty of their banded coloring—pink, orange,gray, ochre, rose and chalk white. And, i f youwould experience the strange sensations of inhab-iting another planet, roam about this weird country.side by the eerie illumination of the moon.

And be not shocked if on your unearthly walkyou stumble upon the bones of a brontotheriumor a sabre toothed tiger, for in this strangely wastedsoil scientists have found the world's richest fossilstorehouse.

NATIONAL MONUMENTand titanothere prowled this region in prehistoricages.

A splendid highway leads from Rapid City intothe heart of the Bad Lands, following the edge ofthe Great Wall, sweeping down over Big Foot Pass,diving through tunnels and winding in and outamong canyons of indescribable beauty.

The round trip from Rapid City to the Bad Landsis made easily in less than a day, but much of:theregion's splendor is reserved for those who viewit under the changing, colored lights of sunriseand sunset, and the ghostly spell of moonlight.

World travelers have declared that nowhere elsesave in Egypt are such rich colorings and uniquescenery to be found. Most of the Bad Lands is com-pletely treeless, and there are large areas wherenot even a blade of grass grows.

Meals and comfortable overnight cabin accom-modations are available at Cedar Pass Lodge inthe center of the Bad Lands.

A PROTECTED AND ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUNDT H E GROUP o f mountains i n western Southi Dakota and eastern Wyoming known as the

Black Hills rise several thousand feet above thesurrounding plain. The higher part of the area isabout 100 miles long and 50 miles wide. Many ofthe ridges reach an altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 feetand the summit of Harney Peak, highest point inthe Hills, is 7,242 feet above sea level.

Almost the whole of this famous scenic regionlies within state and national reserves protecting itagainst commercial exploitation and defacement.Most important among these are:

Hills, and a branch l ine from Edgemont, S. D.,penetrates into the heart of the Hills, renderingfreight and passenger service to Rapid City, Leadand Deadwood. Edgemont is 1027 miles west ofChicago and 365 miles east of Billings, Mont.

Buses operated by the Black Hills TransportationCompany provide dai ly service between New-castle, Wyo., on the Burlington main line, and allparts o f the Hills. During the vacation season,modern, open-top sightseeing buses are operateddaily over "The Black Hills Detour", a two-day,250-mile, escorted, all-expense tour starting andending at Newcastle. Buses also supply local serv-ice to and from many resorts and scenic spots.

Most roads in the Black Hills are open all winter,and the region i s extraordinarily pleasant andbeautiful in spring and fall.

Big game—deer and elk—abound in the forests.There is an annual open season on deer, and eachyear, to keep the herds down, a few elk are turnedout of the reserves for hunters.
