Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pa-Ha-Sa-Pah, or the Black Hills of South Dakota: A Complete History of the Gold and Wonder-Land of the Dakotas, From the Remotest Date Up to the Present It was in September, 1882, when coming from Europe where I had finished my education, that I was put in charge of St. Ambrose Parish at Deadwood and the Missions in the Black Hills. Rev. J. J. Shea was at that time pastor at Lead, and by mutual agreement we exchanged frequently our outside work, and I was thus placed gradually in contact with all the people and places in the Black Hills. Naturally desirous for information regarding all that pertained to this grand region of the Northwest I found that outside of local newspaper accounts the resources for information were rather meager, and that what existed was difficult of access. But gradually the notes and "clips" I got from here and there amounted to considerable material, and when a well-meaning friend suggested the publication of the same, another true friend warned me saying; "I pity a friend of mine who goes into book-making." Still believing that a benefit would be conferred upon the public by making it easier to others than it had been for me to become acquainted with the country, I collected wherever I could get hold of anything referring to the Black Hills, and regardless of expenses obtained all books where mention is made of the region. Assistance was kindly given me by the Hon. Librarian of Congress at the Capitol at Washington, D. C, and all Government records referring to the Black Hills were put at my disposal. Likewise did the Rev. Fathers, Librarians, of the Jesuit Colleges at Georgetown and St. Louis, allow me the use of their records; and at the latter place the manuscript letters of Father DeSmet.
