Overview
There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places. - Wendell Berry
This is the story of a dramatic landscape in an improbable location. Since the last continental glacier receded, the rollicking falls of the Big Sioux River were exposed as a geographical anomaly. Early inhabitants of the Northern Plains were amazed that a stair-stepping series of waterfalls existed in the midst of vast, rolling prairie. Today's visitors marvel that this rugged, dynamic setting survives in the heart of thriving, bustling Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Award winning environmental author Peter Carrels recounts the human activities and inclinations that first disfigured and later rescued this distinct, unexpected landmark known today as Falls Park.
