History is defined as the study of or a record or story of past events considered together, especially events or developments of a particular period, country, or subject. Now how you obtain history is the tricky part. It can come from something tangible or intangible or from someone through written word or spoken word. You know that history can be passed on from one human being to another human being. You also know that to err is human, so how much of our history is truth and how much is fabricated? The truth should come out in the research done in that particular area of history, right? Well, this is a story based on the history of an area called the Black Hills of South Dakota, which happens to interject into the history of the United States, and it may even find that it could touch the history of your own family. It all depends on the research, doesn't it? Most of the story you are about to read is true, but along with most history comes the uncertain mysteries, mysteries that could be added to true history with the proper amount of research. I hope that by reading this book you will come away with a sense of satisfaction that all those years of history in school and your own experiences are finally paying off and you are realizing that the benefit of knowing history is what helps you understand our world. But if after you have finished this book you are still confused about the fact or fiction surrounding history, do the research; you may be surprised at what you will find. I know I was and still am!
