Book Title: Doane Robinson's Encyclopedia Of South Dakota

  Antelope. When white men first came into South Dakota antelope or pronghorn
were very common and inhabited every section; but they have gradually
disappeared before civilization. For many years they have been protected by law
and are increasing in numbers. There are numerous bands along Grand, Cheyenne
and the Little Missouri Rivers. The U. S. government by an act of 1924 has set
aside ten. sections of land in the center of Slim Buttes range, in Harding
County, and in co-operation with the State park board is establishing an
enclosure in which will be confined the remaining wild herds, supposed to
comprise several hundred head. Attempts to establish them in the State game park
in the Black Hills have been only partially successful. They are prairie animals
and not adapted to the confinement of the mountains.
