Helpful Books

Wind Cave National Park: The First 100 Years
While there is a good supply of national park photo essays (take a zillion photos, choose the best few, write some captions and commentary), national park historical photo collections complimented by excellent “extended captions” are very scarce. Books like this densely illustrated history of Wind Cave National Park are genuinely rare.
