Jack began to support his family when his father enlisted in the Union Army in 1861. As the Civil War escalated, Jack himself enlisted in the “Pennsylvania Regulars” and headed south to fight. He was twice wounded in heavy fighting during the last days of the Civil War, and spent a great deal of time convalescing in a hospital. It was while he was a patient that a Sister of Charity taught the young soldier to read and write. After the war Crawford moved to Nebraska to work as paid jour- nalist covering the story of Black Hills gold rush. Because of his knowledge of the region, he was appointed the first ‘Captain’ of the newly appointed Black Hills Rangers militia in August of 1875. He found work as a military guide and scout in the region. His manner of dress, flamboyance, temperance, and gift of poetry made Crawford one of the Hills’ earliest celebrities. He was one of a very few “teetotalers” among the army scouts, and the only man on the frontier who could be entrusted to deliver an unopened bottle of whiskey, according to William “Buffalo Bill” Cody. In 1876 he replaced Buffalo Bill Cody as Chief of scouts for 5th Calvary—two months before Custer massacre at Little Big Horn and three weeks after murder of Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood. The West was full of great characters, but none were as colorful, flamboyant or as poetic as John Wallace “Jack” Crawford..

Charles Collins: the SIOUX City Promotion of the Black Hills
Copyright © 1971 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Charles Collins: The SIOUX City Promotion of the Black Hills JANE CONARD The Black Hills mining frontier. located in southwestern South Dakota, was one of the last regions to experience the turbulence of a gold rush. Rapid development and exploitation of mineral wealth was typical of the gold discoveries in the mountainous West during the Civil War years and the following decade. Although rumors of gold in the Black Hills had persisted throughout these years, the area lay within the Great Sioux Reservation and few white men had had the opportunity of exploring the region to verity the rumors. By the early 1870s public opinion in the Northwest-as Iowa. Nebraska. Minnesota. and Dakota Territory was called-ran strongly in favor of some action by the federal government to open the Black Hills to settlement. The spirit of 'forty-nine lingered on and old miners, ever dreaming of bonanza strikes, sought new gold fields. One step removed from the real and the imaginery gold fields were the merchants and the newspapermen who hoped to outfit the miners, develop new town sites, supply the needs of new communities, and influence the course of men and events. Charles Collins, a newspaperman and promoter from Sioux City, Iowa, spearheaded a campaign to open the Black Hills gold fields to whites. A dynamic Irishman, he sought to put Sioux City on the map as the gateway to the mines, to bring prosperity to the Northwest, and to acquire fame and wealth for himself.

Kaitlyn Weldon HIST 4903 Dr. Logan 7 December 2017 The Black Hills in Color “Here’s to the hills of yesterday, Here’s to the men they knew, Hunters, Miners, and Cattlemen And Braves of the wily Sioux. Men who rode the lonely trails And camped by the gold-washed streams, Forced the land to accept their brand And suffered the birth of a brave new land… Here’s to their valiant dreams.”1 The Black Hills began as a serene, sacred place to the Native Americans.2 The only color for miles was the dark green trees that gave the Black Hills their name.3 In time, the gold rush would move into the area, introducing many new colors to the region. The colors included red, yellow, black, and white. There were many culturally diverse cities within the Black Hills, and many famous, colorful characters came out of these hills, such as Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane. The Dakota Gold Rush was a tumultuous time in American history, but it was only one of many 19th century, gold rushes that created many tales about the Wild West. The United States (US) government had some interest initially in these rushes because they occurred in territories 1 Martha Groves McKelvie, The Hills of Yesterday, (Philadelphia: Dorrance & Company, Inc., 1960), cover page. 2 McKelvie, The Hills of Yesterday, 18-19. 3 Frederick Whittaker, A Complete Life of General George A.

My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach.

SBCC-Report Revised
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The 730-acre property at Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns (SBCC) is of great significance to the geological history of the Black Hills, as well as the histories of South Dakota tourism and, most importantly, of the Oceti Sakowin (“Great Sioux Nation”). Located about ten miles south of downtown Rapid City on Highway 16, the property sits in the heart of the sacred Black Hills (Paha Sapa), which are the creation place of the Lakota people. The Sitting Bull Cave system—named after the famed Hunkpapa leader, who is said to have camped on the property in the late 1800s—is located in the “Pahasapa limestone,” a ring of sedimentary rock on the inner edges of the “Racetrack” described in Lakota oral traditions. There are three caves in the system. The deepest, “Sitting Bull Cave,” boasts some of the largest pyramid-shaped “dog tooth spar” calcite crystals anywhere in the world. The cave opened to tourists after significant excavation in 1934 and operated almost continuously until 2015. It was among the most successful early tourist attractions in the Black Hills, due to the cave’s stunning beauty and the property’s prime location on the highway that connects Rapid City to Mount Rushmore. 2. The Duhamel Sioux Indian Pageant was created by Oglala Holy Man Nicholas Black Elk and held on the SBCC grounds from 1934 to 1957. Black Elk was a well-known Oglala Lakota whose prolific life extended from his experience at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 to the publication of Black Elk Speaks in 1932 and beyond.
