Custer State Park is one of the largest and most beautiful state
parks in the nation. From towering granite spires and pine-draped
mountains to trout streams and remote savanna, the park offers
scenic wonders and recreational opportunities seldom matched on the
Northern Great Plains. First established as a state forest in 1912,
today the park is home to one of the largest bison herds in the
country, as well as other rare flora and fauna. Prior to
settlement, the Black Hills were Lakota territory. After gold was
discovered along French Creek in 1874, the government waged war on
the Lakota, forcing them onto reservations, and settlers rushed to
the region. Photos and narrative in this book provide an intriguing
overview of the park's rich natural and social history. Whether the
subject is Cathedral Spires or Sylvan Lake, General George Custer
or Black Elk, Custer State Park will engage those who value history
and the last few unspoiled places left in the country.
