About This Book

A concise survey of a mountainous Midwestern resort region that blends geological explanation, travel guidance, and regional history. It outlines the land's formation and notable peaks, traces indigenous presence and the gold-driven opening that brought settlement, profiles frontier towns and the colorful figures associated with their boom years, and supplies practical advice for visitors on routes and principal sights. A final section portrays the nearby badlands as a stark, eroded landscape. Illustrations and historical photographs accompany discussions of natural features, tourism, and nineteenth-century episodes.
