In this book you will find rare and fascinating photographs of early expeditions, the gold rush, growing towns, tourist meccas and the unique beauty of the Black Hills. The historic images are matched with carefully composed views from today to create a near-mystical connection between past and present.

Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Custer State Park, Harney Peak and other landmarks are also shown.
