Summary "HISTORY OF BADLANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT and The White River (Big) Badlands of South Dakota" by Ray H. Mattison and Robert A. Grom is a historical account published in the late 20th century. This work details the development and evolution of Badlands National Monument, emphasizing its geological significance, the history of early inhabitants, explorers, and the establishment of the park itself. The opening of the book provides an overview of the establishment and historical significance of the Badlands National Monument and its unique geological characteristics. It describes the early habitation and activities of Indigenous peoples, the experiences of explorers and scientists who ventured into the region, and the development of legislative efforts that led to the park's creation. Through a chronology of important events and figures, the text begins to paint a picture of how the Badlands was transformed from a remote area known for its distinctive terrain into a recognized national monument, underscoring both its natural beauty and cultural history.
