This article focuses on the book "Report on the Geology and Resources of the Black Hills of Dakota," by Henry Newton and Walter P. Jenney. The fieldwork upon which this report is based was executed in the summer and autumn of 1875, under the authority of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Several causes have conspired to delay its publication until the present time. In the first place, it was discovered, when too late, that there was no law authorizing such a survey, and no funds from which its expenses could be met. This was subsequently remedied by legislation, but not until it had caused considerable delay.
