40 WINNETKA TALK February 18, 1928 Send for Book of Photographic Views of the Scenic Black Hills MAILED FREE The first Official Expedition into the Black Hills took place in 1874, a little over fifty years ago, and was made by General Custer accompanied by U. S. Troops, Prospec- tors, Guides, etc. The purpose of this expedition was to determine the principal minerals and products, and to estimate their pos- sible value to the United States Government. At this time these hills were the home of the Sioux Indians. On that Expedition a member of the Custer party, a prospector by the name of H. N. Ross, discovered gold. Millions of dollars in gold have been taken from these hills since that time. There are also 180 different kinds of minerals in these hills and 69 different kinds of rock, and a lot of interesting things that would interest the wide awake boy who loves to be out of doors. BLACK HILLS EXPEDITION of 1928 For Boys and Young Men will require nine weeks of travelling, camping. There will be four established main camps, all fully equipped, and then a lot of interesting little side trips that will help you to better understanding of what you have learned in school and will prepare you for a better school year next year.
