On This Day

August 14

Today in 1953, 200 people attended the dedication of a historic marker for the Thoen Stone, named for the man who found the slab with a desperate message scratched into it. The author was Ezra Kind, who led a party into the Black Hills and discovered gold 40 years before the Custer Expedition. Indians killed nearly everyone in the group, but not before Kind chronicled the encounter in stone. The original Thoen Stone is in the collection of the Adams Museum in Deadwood.
