Book Description
When Paha Sapa, a young Sioux warrior, "counts coup" on General George Armstrong Custer as Custer lies dying on the battlefield at the Little Bighorn, the legendary general's ghost enters him - and his voice will speak to him for the rest of his event-filled life. Seamlessly weaving together the stories of Paha Sapa, Custer, and the American West, Dan Simmons depicts a tumultuous time in the history of both Native and white Americans. Haunted by Custer's ghost, and also by his ability to see into the memories and futures of legendary men like Sioux war-chief Crazy Horse, Paha Sapa's long life is driven by a dramatic vision he experienced as a boy in his people's sacred Black Hills. In August of 1936, a dynamite worker on the massive Mount Rushmore project, Paha Sapa plans to silence his ghost forever and reclaim his people's legacy-on the very day FDR comes to Mount Rushmore to dedicate the face.

Book Description
General George Armstrong Custer's journey to the Black Hills in 1874 was better documented than any other military expedition of the Old West. Photographer W.H. Illingworth recorded superb views of the landscape and several camps, and at least fifteen men wrote diaries, reports or newspaper dispatches brimming with detail.This book blends the 1874 photos with modern photos taken at the same places, along with selections from the written accounts, to paint a unique portrait of everyday life along the trail."Exploring With Custer" also includes a point-by-point guide to the Expedition's route within the Black Hills. The maps, directions and GPS readings lead you to the campsites and down the trail, with stops for many of the photo sites and even for ruts left by Custer's wagons.The choice is yours--use the photographs and accounts to relive the Black Hills Expedition from the comfort of home, or take this book into the field and listen to the stories of Custer and his men as you walk the very ground they first walked in 1874.Great reading for anyone interested in the military exploration, early photography, or the history of the American West.

Book Description
In the dark of night, The Host broadcasts strange and frightening tales from the outskirts of Black Hills - a secret town somewhere in the U.S.A. The small town of Black Hills is beset by strange and horrific occurrences. A hotbed for supernatural activity, Black Hills Radio is the sole word of sanity in the night. Things go bump every single night and it is up to you, the players, to decide what happens next. If you like shows like the Kirlian Frequency or podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale then this game is for you. Its fucking weird. You'll love it. How It Works The game begins with the Broadcast. The Host (GM) and the Players hold a conversation and decide on the night's Headlines and News. From there, the players will dive into scenes that place the Cast of Characters up against horrific strangeness such as shapeshifting mosquito vampires, floating eyeballs that demand worship and strange obelisks. Sooner or later, the Cast begins to break down as the horrors of the town begin to take their toll. As the Cast slowly slides into gibbering insanity, the night's Broadcast wears on until either the horror wins the night, or dawn welcomes a little sanity and the Players can rest for the day.
