Introduction

i live in the beautiful black hills of western south dakota. It's sort of the first wave of the rocky mountain formation that makes up so much of the inner mountain west. This is the leg wild west. Stage coach robberies, gold rushes, brothels, shoot outs, cowboys and indians had all happened here. So as a result, tons of very interesting movers and shakers throughout history stopped by here to seek their fortune or see what they could glean from it.
