leave areas farther east, like Chicago and St. Louis, and headed west in search of gold and their families never heard from them again. There is corroborating historical evidence for the Ezra Kind party. The actual engraved sandstone slab that was found can be seen at the Adams Museum in Deadwood, SD. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Spearfish Canyon is rich in culture with the many notable footprints in the landscape. Trapper Hugh Glass, Lakota religious leader Black Elk, conservationist John Muir, bullwhacker Calamity Jane, President Teddy Roosevelt, George Belshaw and the Latchstring Inn, the Burlington Railroad, gold miner Potato Creek Johnny, and renowned organic architect Frank Lloyd Wright have all visited. Frank Lloyd Wright, a nationally renowned organic architect, visited Spearfish Canyon in 1935. The rough, muddy, and chuck-holed roadway that remained for eighteen years was the remnants of the Burlington Railroad that was pulled out in 1934 after the devastating flood of 1933 near Iron Creek. Upon his return to his home in Wisconsin, he wrote an inspiring expose of his Canyon experience: But how is it that I’ve heard so little of this miracle and we, toward the Atlantic, have heard so much of the

Grand Canyon when this is even more miraculous ... My hat is off to South Dakota treasures. Mr. Wright’s observations in 1935 were fully recognized with the designation of Spearfish Canyon as a State and National Scenic Byway in 1990. For a panoramic view of the inspiring Canyon landscape, a hike on the ‘76 Nature Trail to Buzzard’s Roost Overlook is a must.
