Was everything and more. Great lay out and easy captions. Would be a great gift. I’m even considering getting another for a gift to my parents who remember this flood, I was a toddler. Thank you for a great book.

Remembering the Black Hills Flood

Brought back tons of memories. It makes me long for the days before the flood. The subsequent massive expansion and growth following the recovery really destroyed what had previously been a nice, friendly, pleasant town and put it on a track to becoming "Denver Light".

I was very pleased with the book. It was very well done, and a quality product for a keepsake for many years to come. Thank you.

The book was the absolute best. I cried reading it because I experienced living thru that awful time. I still have "flood mud" on a few items. I have the original paperback version that came out years ago, but this book is 100+ times better! Thank you so very much.

Just as it was.

This publication brought back all of my memories of the Great Flood. I experienced many of those through visual and emotional trauma. Great layout. I even remember a few of the people pictured. Thank you.

I am from the Black Hills and I was in the Northern Hills at the time. It would have been helpful if you included a site map of the upstream watershed and the affected area, and where possible, develop a number identification scheme for the photos and their location on the site map. I give it a four star rating for those not familiar with the Hills, and personally I give it a three star as my low point and four star as my high score because of the items lacking as described above and lack of more detail description of photo vs just saying it is from the Rapid City Journal archives.
