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.
