Quarries in these hills produced dense tangles of Miocene mammal bone that filled museum halls across the country. The rancher who owned the land, James Cook, was a friend of Red Cloud, and the Lakota who visited left him a collection of clothing and pipes that is kept at the site alongside the fossils.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
