The Black Hills of Dakota are included between the Belle Fourche and the South Fork of the Cheyenne River, extending in a direction north 20� west for one hundred and twenty miles, with a breadth of from forty to sixty miles. They cover an area of nearly six thousand square miles, two-thirds of which is in Dakota, the remainder in Wyoming, the boundary-line between these Territories, the hundred and fourth meridian of longitude, passing through the western portion of the area. Surrounded on every side by level or rolling plains and separated from the main chain of the Rocky Mountains, the Black Hills have a geological system perfect and complete in itself, with the records beautifully preserved in the rocks, and each successive formation fully exposed by uplift and erosion to scientific investigation. Conceive a nucleus of upturned metamorphic rocks, mica-schists, slates, and quartzites of Arch�an time, surrounded by encircling-belts of the subsequent geological formations, extending continuously around the Hills, arranged in the order of their deposition, with a general dip from the center toward the level plains. The mineral wealth of the Black Hills is derived from these Arch�an rocks; distorted, set on edge, and metamorphosed, they contain the auriferous quartz-ledges, and these, by decomposition and erosion, have yielded the gold to the placer-gravels. Covering an area of about nine hundred square miles, the metamorphic rocks are discovered, on examination, to naturally separate themselves into two distinct divisions, the schists and the slates. The schists, usually micaceous, occupy the southwestern portion of this area, reaching from Castle Creek southeastwardly, through Custer's Park and the Harney's Peak range, to the southern end of the Hills. The clay-slates and quartzites extend in a parallel belt from the extreme northern part of the main range of the Black Hills, near Crow Peak, to a point nearly east of Harney's Peak, a few miles from the edge of the plains. The slates are probably more recent in age, and rest unconformably on the schists, though both formations have been subjected to simultaneous folding and metamorphic action until the contact between them is very indistinct and difficult to identify. Among the rocks of the first division immense masses of white feldspar-granite have been intruded between the strata of schists, especially in the southeastern portion of the hills, where the Harney's Peak range, eight miles in length and two to four miles in width, is wholly made up of this granite. Narrow dikes of granite traverse the schists conformably to the stratification. The sides of those dikes often expose black, polished surfaces or slickensides. In places the plastic granite in its intrusion has completely enclosed huge fragments broken from the adjacent schists.

Book Synopsis Black Hills Forestry by : John F. Freeman
Download or read book Black Hills Forestry written by John F. Freeman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first study focused on the history of the Black Hills National Forest, its centrality to life in the region, and its preeminence within the National Forest System, Black Hills Forestry is a cultural history of the most commercialized national forest in the nation. One of the first forests actively managed by the federal government and the site of the first sale of federally owned timber to a private party, the Black Hills National Forest has served as a management model for all national forests. Its many uses, activities, and issues—recreation, timber, mining, grazing, tourism, First American cultural usage, and the intermingling of public and private lands—expose the ongoing tensions between private landowners and public land managers. Freeman shows how forest management in the Black Hills encapsulates the Forest Service's failures to keep up with changes in the public's view of forest values until compelled to do so by federal legislation and the courts. In addition, he explores how more recent events in the region like catastrophic wildfires and mountain pine beetle epidemics have provided forest managers with the chance to realign their efforts to create and maintain a biologically diverse forest that can better resist natural and human disturbances. This study of the Black Hills offers an excellent prism through which to view the history of the US Forest Service's land management policies. Foresters, land managers, and regional historians will find Black Hills Forestry a valuable resource.

Book Synopsis Fort Meade and the Black Hills by : Robert Lee
Download or read book Fort Meade and the Black Hills written by Robert Lee and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1991-05-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Meade was the home of the famous Seventh Cavalry after its ignominious defeat in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Troops from Fort Meade played a pivotal role in the events that led to the tragedy at Wounded Knee in 1890. It was the scene of imprisonment of Ute Indians who made the mistake of interpreting their new citizenship status as freedom from government control. The fort survived the mechanization of the horse cavalry, aided the record-breaking Stratosphere Balloon flight of 1935, and became a training site for the nation’s first airborne troops. Fort Meade existed for sixty-six years, from 1878 to 1944. Robert Lee examines the strategic importance of its location on the northern edge of the Black Hills and the role it played in the settlement of the region, as well as the role played by the citizens of Sturgis in keeping it alive. One of the chief delights of Fort Meade and the Black Hills is a gallery of characters including the unfortunate Major Marcus Reno, the beautiful and fatal Ella Sturgis, and the cigar-smoking Poker Alice Tubbs. They, and events scaled to their larger-than-life size, are part of this long overdue story of Fort Meade.
