South Dakota Homestead

Badlands National Park

South Dakota, USA

For an $18.00 filing fee and farming a certain amount of the land, in the late 19th and early 20th century one could get a 160 acre homestead in what had been Indian Territory. Most homesteaders failed as the soil and weather was unsuited for farming.
