THE BLACK HILLS
MID-CONTINENT RESORT
From taboo Indian fastness to roaring gold camp to modern resort and
recreation area—so runs the history of the Black Hills, Paha Sapa of the
Indians, which are really not hills at all but mountains, the highest
east of the Rockies. Back through geologic ages the story extends, to
the thunderous time when Nature fashioned the intricate formations of
the Hills and their companion geologic marvel, the Badlands.
Here, in racy and fluent prose, Albert N. Williams has brought the full
sweep of this story to life, from its beginning in the mighty geologic
upheaval that, before the Alps had been formed, thrust the giant spire
of Harney Peak up through the ancient shale, to the present quiet rest
of man-made Sylvan Lake, where it lies peacefully reflecting its great
granite shields for the delight of the traveler.
On the way he tells of the discovery of gold in this “mysterious and
brooding dark mountain-land” just when gold-hungry men had decided that
the bonanza days were gone forever; of the Indian fighting that reached
its tragic climax at the Little Big Horn; of the development of the
Homestake, one of earth’s greatest mines; of the hazardous stage-coach
journeys on which “shotgun messengers” guarded chests of bullion; and,
most fascinating of all, of the amazing personalities—Sam Bass and Wyatt
Earp and Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and Preacher Smith—who
inhabited the Hills in their gaudiest days or, like Deadwood Dick, lived
a no less vivid life in the pages of dime novels.
If this were all, _The Black Hills_ would be a book for any lover of our
country’s natural glories and thrilling history to pick up and be unable
to lay down again until he had finished it. But other chapters directed
particularly to the tourist make it also a book for the traveler to keep
always with him and to consult at every point in his journey through the
Black Hills. All he needs to know is here—the highways to take into the
Hills, the towns with their historic plays and celebrations, the peaks
and lakes and caves he will find, the sports he may enjoy, the places
where he may stay. A trip so guided cannot fail to be filled with the
excitement the author himself has found in the Black Hills, of which he
says that in his opinion “no other resort area in the United States
possesses such a wealth of tourist attractions.”
Albert N. Williams was for many years a writer for NBC in New York, and
for two years Editor-in-Chief of the English features section of the
Voice of America. He is the author of _Listening_, _Rocky Mountain
Country_, _The Water and the Power_, and numerous short fiction pieces
in national magazines. He is at present Director of Development of the
University of Denver.
