  Fans of Calamity Jane will be familiar with some of the landmarks and towns of South Dakota. Deadwood, as well as being the third largest gambling venue in the USA, is now a National Historic Landmark with brick paved streets, old time trolleys, and Victorian architecture. The Black Hills National Forest's main attraction is Mount Rushmore and it is also home to a thriving ski resort. South Dakota is also home to the eerie and desolate gorges in rust, pink and gold of the Badlands National Park. You can visit anything from the fossilised remains of ancient mammoths to the Crazy Horse Monument to the Flintstone's Bedrock City life-size tribute. Our Compass American Guide to South Dakota is the perfect companion to this epic landscape. Packed with practical travel advice and coverage of all the main attractions, this guide is set apart from the competition with its in depth cultural and literary background information and its stunning colour photographs.
