The History of Badlands National Monument and the White River (Big) Badlands of South Dakota
Robert A. Grom and Joanne W. Stockert Ray H. Mattison
South Dakota's White River badlands are a moonscape stacked with fossils, and Ray Mattison tells how they became a monument. From early Indians and explorers to the settlers, the Depression years, and the fight to preserve the ground, this is the human story of the Big Badlands. History layered over geology. A compact chronicle of one of America's strangest landscapes.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
