This 1877 photo of the gold rush at Deadwood, Dakota Territory is arguably the best photo ever captured of a western boom town. Taken by photographer F. J. Haynes, this remarkable image captures Main Street in the thriving gold camp just about a year after it was founded. The man standing in the foreground is likely sheriff Seth Bullock.

In 1891, workmen were laying a wooden water pipeline east of Lewiston, Idaho, showcasing the ingenuity and labor required for early infrastructure projects. During this period, wooden pipelines were a common solution for transporting water, particularly in remote or developing areas. These pipelines were constructed from wooden staves, bound together with metal bands, and sealed to prevent leakage.
Laying a wooden water pipeline was a labor-intensive process that involved skilled workers who carefully assembled and installed the pipes. This project in Lewiston was likely part of efforts to provide reliable water supply for agricultural, industrial, or residential use, essential for the growth and development of the community.
The use of wooden pipelines, though eventually phased out in favor of more durable materials like iron and steel, was an important step in the evolution of water infrastructure. It reflects the resourcefulness of the time and the significant effort put into creating functional systems to support burgeoning settlements and industries.

Lakota Woman is a memoir by Mary Brave Bird, a Sicangu Lakota who was formerly known as Mary Crow Dog. Reared on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, she describes her childhood and young adulthood, which included many historical events associated with the American Indian Movement.

Lakota Woman describes Brave Bird's participation in the 1972 Trail of Broken Treaties and the 1973 Indian Occupation at Wounded Knee. She also writes about her marriage to Leonard Crow Dog, the spiritual leader of AIM. She describes her involvement in the Native American Church.

Richard Erdoes (1912-2008) edited the book. Born in Austria and author of over 21 books, Erdoes was a longtime friend of Brave Bird and also helped her publish her other memoir, Ohitika Woman.

Lakota Woman won the 1991 American Book Award.

The book inspired the 1994 film Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee produced by TNT and Jane Fonda. It starred Irene Bedard who would also later provide the speaking voice of Pocahontas in the 1995 Disney animation Pocahontas.
