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
About the present condition of the Indians in South Dakota and their advance in civilization I will speak in a subsequent volume if this one finds favor with the public.
Also about the work done by the different religious denominations in the Black Hills, and their present con dition and apparent prospect, would have found room in this volume had the amount of material not forbidden me to curtail the same, and due consideration and full satis faction will be given to all of whatever denomination they may be.
The kind reader will condone the shortcomings he may find here and there and bear in mind that I do not lay claim to literary merits, and publish the volume for no other purpose than to make the world at large acquainted with that part of the United States which has up to now not found any one to give a complete history about it. The people of the Black Hills will surely be thankful for the pains I have taken to show them all about their homes.
