This collection of articles takes the reader on a journey through local landmarks such as Medicine Rocks State Park, Starvation Butte, Capitol Rock and the Chalk Buttes, ending in a sweeping description of Ekalaka's unique character. Reports created for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) are included, with data regarding population, industry, and area history. All this is written with wit, humor, and an overarching reverence for the land that author W. H. Peck called home.
