Paul Horsted > Wagon Train Passing Through Castle Creek Valley A stereoview by W.H. Illingworth shows more than 100 wagons of the Black Hills Expedition in Castle Creek Valley on July 26, 1874. In the modern color image made at this location, the same limestone formations and, remarkably, several burned stumps seen in the 1874 image are still present today. ©Paul Horsted, All Rights Reserved.
Paul Horsted > 1933 Road Near Mt. Rushmore. Charles D'emery was a Connecticut-based photographer hired by Gutzon Borglum (and later the Park Service) to document the work on Mt. Rushmore. He took many outstanding images of the monument as well as the beauty of the surrounding Black Hills. Here we see a car that appears in some of D'emery's other images, as well as a figure sitting on rocks at right, in front of the partially-carved mountain. The earlier image can be dated by the emerging image of Jefferson to the left of Washington. Inadequate rock in that area caused Borglum to remove the carving by 1934 and start over on the other side. Today the former highway is the Avenue of Flags leading to the main viewing terrace at Mt. Rushmore. Note the same rock formation at right, with several feet of earth removed from around its base. ©Paul Horsted, All Rights Reserved.
Paul Horsted > H.R. Locke view of Sylvan Lake and the hotel built there about 1890. The hotel burned down in the 1930's. Level of lake has also risen since then, submerging rocks visible at right in old image. Historic image courtesy Adams Museum & House. ©Paul Horsted, All Rights Reserved.

Paul Horsted > J.C.H. Grabill image circa 1891 showing rocks at, according to the caption on front, "Lake Harney Peaks." These rocks now emerge from Sylvan Lake, formed by a dam at one end of a valley in the Needles Area of Custer State Park.
