A woman from Chicago succeeded in making off with it, but returned it when contacted by mail. The dog was a rock, which someone evidently had brought from another part of the cave, and in the pre-federal period, visitors were continually attempting to take it. The little chirper stands ready to dive from our view, but moves not an inch, for his petrified state long ago produced locomotor ataxia." (1) The mound is a group of two small mud-drip holes. SOURCE OF NAME: "Passing the fireplace, we notice a Prairie Dog and Mound. Horn, Mazes and Marvels of Wind Cave, 1901, p. At present, it is filled with rock, obviously the result of trail construction. The pine knot is placed to give proper light for his nocturnal study, pre-paring him for the presidency." (1) An intuitive assumption can be drawn on the general location, for if Passing the fireplace, we notice a Prairie Dog and Mound." (2) A low, arched alcove is located on the west side of the trail, on the entrance side of the Prairie Dog Mound. The kindling is placed in position ready for a fire to warm the Rail-splitter when he comes in from the forest. SOURCE OF NAME: "We next enter a small chamber of the cabin type where we are shown Lincoln's Fireplace. Locations are in terms of survey stations or numbered light fixtures. Until more information is discovered, this is where it must remain. This latter was employed in many cases, and although possible unreliable in some instances, is based on the only information available. If a place lies between two known places, or immediately after a known place, the location can be inferred. Often no such feature is evident (many changes were made during trail construction) and one must rely on the sequence indicated by the guide. The descriptions are often adequately obvious to pinpoint the location. The technique involved in simply following the guides through the cave.

No scholarly research has been expended in this project. A number of old photographs have been uncovered, and thanks to the technology of stereo photography a number of positive identifications have been made. At present it is the only information available on areas not covered by Horn and Owen. McDonald, is probably the standard work on the subject, at least historically. The present tour routes were used then, and it is possible to start at the entrance and follow each guide step by step through the cave.Īlthough somewhat more vague in terms of locations, The Private Account of A.F. Horn, 1901 each contain sections on the cave written in guide book form. Cave Regions of the Ozarks and Black Hills, Luella Agnes Owen, 1898 and Mazes and Marvels of Wind Cave, Edward C. This period produced a variety of literature that reveals a number of reliable clues for identification of these places. Through lack of use, the location and origin of many of these names have been forgotten. This is a distinct contrast with the old names in Carlsbad Caverns, NM, which with few exceptions are local, based on American Indian mythology. These names represent visitors from all walks of life (e.g., Old Fellows Hall, Tabernacle, Bishop Fowler's Retreat, Dante's Inferno, Milton's Study, Chopin's Nocturne) from the four corners of the Earth (e.g., Scenes of Wicklow, World's Fairground, New York Elevated Railroad, Union College) as well as the realism and humor the difficult places generated (e.g., Cliff Climber's Delight, Fat Woman's Misery, Ghost of She, Hard Scramble, Bridge of Sighs).

Most famous was Mammoth Cave, Ky., and Wind Cave took pride in being able to offer substantial competition. But the few that were represented the ultimate in romance, mystery, beauty and adventure. There were few caves known at that time even fewer developed for tours. It could not have occurred at a more opportune time, for it was destined to become an integral part of the mainstream of this unique phase of growth. It was in this fertile environment that Wind Cave was "born". Few frontiers have ever experienced this trend toward tourism coincident with their growth. Not only was the region attracting miners and other commercial interest, but it was also luring tourists, visitors who would partake of its beauty and adventure.
