Without searching/researching, name the historic figure in this 1902 photo.
I'll explain later how/why I came across this.

Young boxster???
Beautiful country, The lighting ceremony at night is really cool at least it was 25+ yrs ago. It is also really cool at sunrise. Also Jewel Cave is really neat, Wind Cave is ok. Custer State park is worth a drive through IMO.
Winner.
Was concerned that my walrus mustache might actually be getting a little Joseph Stalinish so did a google and saw this young man pic of him.
A couple of days ago I awoke at about 4:30 am to sirens that were pretty close. When I went to take a walk I saw a police car stopped with it's lights on right at where all the road construction is underway. Soon two more police cars came driving out of the construction zone. When I was returning from my walk a flatbed tow truck was pulling out with what was left of a badly mangled car.
Not sure how someone could have missed the signs.

You'd be surprised. We were doing a bridge deck pour that required us to shut down the existing bridge. We've got bridge closed signs across the road, a cop behind them with lights on, concrete trucks stacked up 4 deep in the middle of the road and still had people trying to sneak through the gap in between the signs and go across the bridge.
Wait til you have kids! I had one Friday a few winters back where my step-son called (which he never did unless it was something bad) to say he needed some help. Somehow he had smashed up against a curb and popped BOTH tires on the passenger side from their rims. He also then proceeded to "drive to safety" on the tireless wheels, which needless to say was not good for them.
So you only had one flat tire, amirite?
That place is a real hole. Reminds me of a particular Frank Zappa tune.

We had a daughter drive clear across from Altoona to Adel with a red light on the dash. Seems someone wasn't checking the oil. And someone didn't know (or refused to believe) that turning the radio up didn't stop the engine from knocking, just drowned it out a bit. Yeah - she was something of a "if I don't know about it, nothing is wrong" type kid. That engine was toast by the time she called Lew for help...
Coincidence that you come to town and we have four shootings in 19 hours? JK of course. One of them was less than a mile or so from us and roughly at the end of a trail that I sometimes ride and did earlier in the week.
I was going to recommend Wind Cave especially if you need to cool off on a really hot day. Jewel Cave is cool but I don't remember it as well since I was last in it about 25 years ago.
I like Devils Tower, but doing Custer, Rushmore, Needles, etc. and then driving up to DT all in one day may be a bit much.
You can't grasp the immensity of DT from pictures. Those little chunks peeling off of it every millenium or so dwarf semi tractor-trailers.

Heard about those on the a.m. news, I thought those were pretty high numbers for CR.
