Broadside, Black Hills South Dakota The Black Hills as Sung by Dick Brown

Small broadside 8x5” with ornamental boarder. Very minor edge wear, else close to fine. It is not clear from the text of the song if this was published before or after Custer’s battle at the Little Big Horn, but it appears to be around that time. The song is a humorous warning to stay away from Cheyenne and the Black Hills. The lyrics warn that if you go there Sitting Bull and Commanche Bill “will raise up your hair”. The song writer adds that he wishes the person who started the gold rush craze in the Black Hills would be taken care of by Crazy Horse.
