Hagen, Olaf T. (Olaf Theodore), -1949; Mattison, Ray H., 1903-1980

Two versions of an article written for North Dakota History magazine. The first, by Olaf T. Hagen, focuses on the history of Theodore Roosevelt’s time in the Dakota Badlands. The latter, revised and expanded by Ray H. Mattison after Hagen’s death, describes the history of the region from Custer’s time through the 1890s. Mattison’s revision focuses more on the arrival of the railroad and its effects on the game in the region, which had been plentiful but declined rapidly as hunters and adventurers decimated the herds.
