 stock image, actual book may vary Deadwood, South Dakota, has been a source of American legend for over one hundred years. European exploration, Indian wars, gold booms and busts, presidential visits, frontier shootouts, and the natural beauty of the surrounding Black Hills have all captured the imagination of Americans and foreigners. Deadwood: The Golden Years recreates the town that assimilated all that its geography, gold, natural disasters, and the extremes of human behavior could throw in its way. Deadwood was a microcosm of the American frontier and the gold rush town. This history of Deadwood emphasizes its most volatile period, 1875-1925, with careful scrutiny of before and after. The author, a western historian and foremost raconteur, carefully separates legend from fact and presents them both: the spirit of Deadwood was real. Witty and sympathetic understanding born of a lifetime in the Black Hills and acquaintance with many of the characters who traipse through the pages give this book a comprehensiveness rarely found. It is a lively, reliable, and sometimes irreverent narrative of Deadwood the next best thing to having lived there for the last century. DI

 stock image, actual book may vary Historians Howard Shaff and Audrey Karl Shaff spent seven years retracing the steps of Gutzon Borglum and writing his definitive biography. In 1977 the Shaffs visited Mount Rushmore and began their journey that took them from California to Connecticut, Idaho to Texas - as they tracked down Borglum's far-flung papers, talked to those who knew him, catalogued his art and interviewed virtually every surviving member of Borglum's team of workers on Mount Rushmore. Their taped interviews, now housed at the monument and the University of South Dakota, comprise the only comprehensive oral history of Mount Rushmore and the sculptor. The Shaffs have also emerged as the acknowledged experts on Borglum's art, serving as curators for the largest collection of his work, housed st the Rushmore-Borglum Story in Keystone, South Dakota. The Shaffs now live at the KbarS Lodge in Keystone where they continue to write and work together. They have seven children. Painter, sculptor, political crusader, city planner, aviation enthusiast, critic and sportsman. Gutzon Borglum threw himself into life as it was lived in the halcyon days of the turn-of-the-century. his life was filled with romance, adventure, accomplishment and intrigue. It touched every president from Teddy Roosevelt to FDR, the artists, statesmen, politicians and celebrities of his time in a story that led to its inevitable conclusion at Mount Rushmore.
