Browsing through the “Book” search, I did not always find the items I was searching for. I entered “Black Hills, SD” and was brought to a book that had nothing to do with the Black Hills nor did the cited page mention the Black Hills. Perhaps, I was entering something incorrectly. Another search for Abraham Lincoln provided several items but I needed to be more specific with my entry. I really liked playing around in the “Publications” tab. I searched for “Sioux” and found several interesting items. I spent a good deal of time reading a book called Four weeks among some of the Sioux tribes of Dakota and Nebraska: together with a brief consideration of the Indian problem by Herbert Welsh published in 1882.

I agree that HeritageQuest searching can be quirky and takes some practice. Glad you were able to find good results with your "Sioux" search. HeritageQuest tells the stories of the times and can be a valuable primary resource. Thanks for trying it out.
