Black Hills
The Black Hills are a small and isolated mountain range rising from the Great Plains of North America in western South Dakota and extending into Wyoming, United States.
Black Elk Peak( formerly known as Harney Peak), which rises to, is the range's highest summit.
The Black Hills encompass the Black Hills National Forest.
The name" Black Hills" is a translation of the Lakota".
The hills were so- called because of their dark appearance from a distance, as they were covered in trees.
Native Americans have a long history in the Black Hills.
After conquering the Cheyenne in 1776, the Lakota stole the territory of the Black Hills, which became central to their culture.
In 1868, the U.S. government signed the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, establishing the Great Sioux Reservation west of the Missouri River, and exempting the Black Hills from all white settlement forever.
However, when settlers discovered gold there in 1874, as a result of George Armstrong Custer's Black Hills Expedition, miners swept into the area in a gold rush.
The US government took back the Black Hills and in 1889 reassigned the Lakota, against their wishes, to five smaller reservations in western South Dakota, selling off 9 million acres of their former land.
Unlike most of South Dakota, the Black Hills were settled by European Americans primarily from population centers to the west and south of the region, as miners flocked there from earlier gold boom locations in Colorado and Montana.
As the economy of the Black Hills has shifted from natural resources( mining and timber) since the late 20th century, the hospitality and tourism industries have grown to take its place.
Locals tend to divide the Black Hills into two areas:" The Southern Hills" and" The Northern Hills".
The Southern Hills is home to Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Black Elk Peak( the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies, formerly and still more commonly known as Harney Peak), Custer State Park( the largest state park in South Dakota), the Crazy Horse Memorial, and the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, the world's largest mammoth research facility.
Attractions in the Northern Hills include Spearfish Canyon, historic Deadwood, and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held each August.
The first Rally was held on August 14, 1938 and the 75th Rally in 2015 saw more than 1 million bikers visit the Black Hills.
Devils Tower National Monument, located in the Wyoming Black Hills, is an important nearby attraction and was the United States' first national monument.
Black Hills (San Bernardino County)
The Black Hills are a mountain range in the Mojave Desert, in northwestern San Bernardino County, California.
They are a continuation of the Black Hills( Kern County).
Doane Robinson
Jonah LeRoy "Doane" Robinson (October 19, 1856 – November 27, 1946) was a state historian of South Dakota.
He is known for conceiving of the idea for the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the Black Hills, which he believed would stimulate tourism to the area.
The Lakota people, who consider the Black Hills to be sacred ground, objected to this project but were unable to prevent it.
This territory used to be within the Great Sioux Reservation, but the United States broke up and decreased the size of the reservations after gold was discovered in the Black Hills.
Robinson gained support from the US Senator from South Dakota, and in 1929 President Calvin Coolidge approved the project after Congress authorized funding.
The project was completed in 1941.
Black Hills (Washington)

Man from the Black Hills
Man from the Black Hills is a 1952 American western film directed by Thomas Carr and starring Johnny Mack Brown, James Ellison and Rand Brooks.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Martin Obzina.
Thomas Carr (director)
Thomas Carr (July 4, 1907 – April 23, 1997) was an American actor and film director of Hollywood movies and television programs.

Black Hills Gold Rush
The Black Hills Gold Rush took place in Dakota Territory in the United States.
It began in 1874 following the Custer Expedition and reached a peak in 1876- 77.
Rumors and poorly documented reports of gold in the Black Hills go back to the early 19th century.
In the 1860s, Roman Catholic missionary Father De Smet is reported to have seen Sioux Indians carrying gold which they told him came from the Black Hills.
Prior to the Gold Rush, the Black Hills were used by Native Americans( primarily bands of Sioux but others also ranged through the area).
The United States government recognized the Black Hills as belonging to the Sioux by the Treaty of Laramie in 1868.
Despite being within Indian territory, and therefore off- limits, white Americans were increasingly interested in the gold- mining possibilities of the Black Hills.
Prospectors found gold in 1874 near present- day Custer, South Dakota, but the deposit turned out to be small.
The large placer gold deposits of Deadwood Gulch were discovered in November 1875, and in 1876, thousands of gold- seekers flocked to the new town of Deadwood, although it was still within Indian land.
The tale of first gold discovery in the Black Hills was thrown into question in 1887 by the discovery of what has become known as the Thoen Stone.
Discovered by Louis Thoen on the slopes of Lookout Mountain, the stone purports to be the last testament of Ezra Kind who, along with six others, entered the Black Hills in 1833( at a time when whites were forbidden by law and treaty from entering the area)," got all the gold we could carry" in June 1834, and were subsequently" killed by Indians beyond the high hill".
While it may seem unlikely that someone who has" lost my gun and nothing to eat and Indians hunting me" would take the time to carve his story in sandstone, there is corroborating historical evidence for the Ezra Kind party.
Many of the miners came up the Missouri River from Kansas and eventually returned there.
