On This Day

February 14

Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy was born today in 1849. As surveyor for the Newton-Jenney Party of 1875, McGillycuddy was the first white man to ascend Black Elk Peak. He tended the wounds of a dying Crazy Horse, and later became Pine Ridge Agency's Indian agent. After moving to Rapid City, he served as dean of the South Dakota School of Mines, the state's first Surgeon General and Rapid City mayor. After his death in 1939, McGillycuddy's cremains were interred at the top of Black Elk Peak.
