  abstract: "Dubbed Mako Sica by the Lakotas and les Mauvaises Terres by the French, South Dakota's White River Badlands is famous for its stunning vistas of saw-toothed ridges, dry-wash canyons, and looming mesas and pinnacles, which attract millions of visitors to Badlands National Park every year. Over the centuries, this harsh, unforgiving environment has also enticed generations of American Indians, fur traders, trailblazers, would-be tycoons, paleontologists, gold miners, homesteaders, and ranchers, who have either found refuge here or tried, and often failed, to eke out a living. The White River Badlands: Its History and Characters examines each of these attempts to lay claim to the Badlands"--
