Remembering Rapid City

A Nostalgic Look at the 1920s Through the 1970s

By: Beverly Pechan,Bill Groethe

Rapid City-"The Summer Playground of America"-was founded in 1876 by gold seekers, fueled by a rush to the Black Hills following the Custer Expedition of 1874. Merchants supplying the miners and military units patrolling the region were the ones who ultimately prospered, however. When the railroad arrived a decade later, cattlemen replaced the prospectors, and Rapid City remained a hub of activity. By the end of World War I, the popularity of the automobile and newly constructed roads helped to shape area tourism. Mount Rushmore, 23 miles distant, was under construction in 1927, and the new Alex Johnson Hotel was completed in 1928. Together, they were natural draws to complement the pine-scented beauty surrounding Rapid City, making it the center of Western hospitality. On June 9, 1972, a flood roared through the heart of the community, taking 238 lives. By the end of the decade, many new civic improvements began to change the face of Rapid City again. With this growth, Rapid City retains its early charm as the "gate city" of the Black Hills.

The Winds of Change

The Sequel to Bend in the Road

By: Beverly Ferebee Heyde

From the Scottish Isle of Mull to the backcountry of the Carolinas, the story of Catriona 'Caty' Maclean O'Brien continues, following her life through love and disaster, war and peace. In this engaging sequel to Bend in the Road, readers join Caty and her family as The Winds of Change sweep through the hilly backcountry settlement they call home. Life in South Carolina is not easy. There is constant fear of Indian attacks, and no decisions are simple. And for Caty, life within the home proves most difficult. She and her husband, Jaimie, long for a son, and when that dream is tragically dashed, a wedge is driven between the two. As Jaimie grows distant, Caty finds herself struggling to hold in her anger at the injustice done to her to keep her family intact, yet she also longs for things to be as they once were-happy and loving. In the midst of her own battles, the rivalry between France and England over possession of Indian lands triggers continuous Indian uprisings and eventually war. On the distant horizon blooms another war that will determine the fate of all Americans and the part that Caty and other frontier women will play in it. As The Winds of Change threaten to destroy life as the settlers know it, Caty will have to make painful decisions and fill the void on the farm. Can she stand strong and see it through? Will life ever return to normal? Find out in the moving conclusion.

Ron Howard

From Mayberry to the Moon . . . and Beyond

By: Beverly Gray

Ron Howard: From Mayberry to the Moon... and Beyond, the first full-length biography of Ron Howard, takes an in-depth look at the Oklahoma boy who gained national fame as a child star, then grew up to be one of Hollywood's most admired directors. Although many show biz kids founder as they approach adulthood, Ron Howard had the advantage of brains, common sense, and two down-to-earth parents who kept him from having an inflated view of his own accomplishments. He also had a longstanding goal: to trade the glare of the spotlight for a quieter but equally creative life behind the camera. This biography tracks his career from 1960, when he debuted as six-year-old Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show through 2002, when he accepted his Academy Award® as Best Director for A Beautiful Mind. Author Beverly Gray, an entertainment industry veteran, has spoken to teachers, friends, and professional colleagues from all phases of Howard's career. She has also combed the archives to gain further insight into this very private man whose accomplishments have brought pleasure to so many.
