Transcription
That Young Man's Butte near Richardton was a famous landmark in frontier days is shown by an article which appeared in an Eastern newspaper at the time of the driving of the Golden Spike on the Northern Pacific Railway. The Dickinson Press of September 15, 1863 reprinted this glowing prediction: "That the future seat of empire in the great Northwest is an acknowledged fact, and it is only a question of time when the Capital of the United States, yea, the source and residence of the world's power and wisdom will sit on the top of Young Man's Butte, or some other elevated pinnacle on the landscape of Dakota."
