Did you ever wonder what you would do if you found a mammoth under
your back yard. Well that's just what happens to the Flom family
when they found that the glaciers had buried a mammoth left under
their farm during the last ice age. The Flom family dairy farm was
typical for Northern Wisconsin in 1969. It was located near the
current day Ice Age Trail that runs through Wisconsin and was
responsible for the hills, forests, lakes and swamps that make up
this part of the country. To the south of this line is some of the
best farm land in the country thanks to the glaciers and to the
north the wooded expanse that most people thing about when they
hear of Northern Wisconsin. The Flom farm is on this dividing line.
The father is trying to turn the farm over to the next generation,
Daniel was trying to make it through college for Natural Resources
and in the middle was what to do with the mammoth they uncovered in
their gravel pit off the back forty
Andrew and his son needed to start a new life and the opportunity
came for them to move out to Keystone South Dakota. The local
newspaper was up for sale and together Andrew and Alexander are
excepted by the good folks of the town and help to uncover a the
mystery of strange petroglyphs that even the Native Americans
didn't knew what they meant. Andrew and a few of his friends manage
to answer a lot of questions that had been asked over the years
since the town was founded in 1876. Along the way Alexander learns
to bond with his son and both find their way into the history
books.
Kevin Bayard follows his dad to the Black Hills of South Dakota in
1891 to analyze the area around keystone for gems and minerals the
mining companies were looking for. He also finds out about himself
and a Pteranodon or a flying dinosaur that made him famous and
attempts to uncover the mysterious rocks found with them. Tom Blake
accepted his Dad's invitation to join him in Keystone, South Dakota
in 1989 where he had opened his insurance agency to insure the
risky business of mining. Tom's relationship with his dad grows as
his knowledge in the Insurance business and becomes one of the
forefathers of modern underwriting techniques to insure Risky
Businesses.
