| Abstract | The discovery of gold in the Black Hills of today's South Dakota led to one of the most complicated and problematic chapters in the development of the American West. In 1868, the Fort Laramie Treaty had reserved the land for the Sioux tribe of American Indians; but by 1875 the U.S. government, having received reports of mineral and natural resources there, was attempting to purchase the area. . . . In the 1870s, the New Yorker Bellestristisches Journal published several articles on the Black Hills, revealing (and fueling) interest among German Americans. . . . [One such was] Paul Oeker's 1878 article entitled Das kuenftige Lincoln-Territorium" (The Future Lincoln Territory), from which the following excerpts were taken." |
