Rapid City's early history included Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy and his wife Fannie at their home at 727 South St.; McGillycuddy served as mayor, Indian Agent, dean of the School of Mines, and South Dakota's first state surgeon. Joseph and Alice Gossage were publishers of the city's most enduring newspaper, the legacy of which is today's Rapid City Journal. Annie Tallent, a member of the Gordon-Russell party, was among the first settlers and became a leading educator. Mike Quinn, a bullwhacker and founder of the town of Quinn, South Dakota, was associated with his friend and business partner Pierre 'Pete' Duhamel. Edna Scott, Jennie Leedy Brennan, and Tom Sweeney also appear, including Sweeney in his hardware store on the northwest corner of 7th and Main Streets. The first graduating class from the Dakota School of Mines, founded in 1885, included Benjamin Poznansky, Carrie Feigel, and Eva Robinson. A fire hose team reflected the importance of fire-fighting capability in the community, and John Brennan appears in a straw hat. Native Americans shown include survivors of the 1876 Battle of the Little Big Horn—Little Warrior, Pemmican, Little Soldier, Dewey Beard, John Sitting Bull, High Eagle, Iron Hawk, and Comes Again—photographed in 1948, as well as Black Elk, Lakota medicine man and survivor of that battle, photographed in 1948. Officers of the YMCA also appear in a posed photograph humorously illustrating smoking, drinking, and gambling as vices that might ensnare a young man.
