Gordon Stockade #21789958
Description

The Gordon Stockade is part of Custer State Park in South Dakota, USA. The stockade marks an important part of the state's history. The original stockade was built by the Gordon Party in December of 1874. At the time, being in the Black Hills was illegal, as it violated the Fort Laramie Treaty. However, the Gordon party wished to search for gold, and spent some time building the stockade for protection. The stockade was discovered by the US Cavalry in 1875 and the party members were taken to Fort Laramie. They were not charged with any crimes and many of them ended up back in the Black Hills searching for gold.
