Wind Cave National Park: The First 100 Years (SD) (Images of America) by Peggy Sanders
Wind Cave is one of the longest and most complex caves in the world. Complete with more than 100 miles of surveyed cavern passageways below ground and 28,295 acres of diverse ecology above, Wind Cave National Park is an American treasure with an impressive history. The first recorded discovery of Wind Cave occurred in 1881 when brothers Jesse and Tom Bingham followed the sounds of the whistling wind and came upon the cave. In 1903, the cave and surrounding area became Wind Cave National Park, the seventh national park in the nation and the first created with a cave as its focal point. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (C) established a camp near the park headquarters. The C built roads and buildings, landscaped and made improvements to better accommodate tours inside the cave.
Sanders, Peggy: - With over 200 historical images gathered mostly from private collections, Peggy Sanders documents the dramatic changes in county industries and the lives of everyday people. As a member of the Fall River County Historical Society Board, Sanders is the originator and chairman of the Focus on Fall River County History Conference, held in Hot Springs the second Saturday in January. Her great-grandparents Ira and Hattie Tillotson homesteaded near Cascade in 1881. Since then, six generations of Tillotson descendents have lived and worked in Fall River County. Peggy Sanders is the author of four previous Images of America books.
