Indians and trout fishing near Deadwood in South Dakota
In this closing South Dakota letter J Roths Child describes encounters with Indians including Susie Iron Plume and Mary Pipe-on-Head, notes an interpreter Ed Rentz fluent in seven dialects, and recalls a mountain trout fishing trip near Deadwood with a 54-trout haul. The group visits Wind Cave and a Grand Army of the Republic hall, observes alcohol-free streets, and attends warm-water baths at Hot Springs.
