The Pinnacles, Badlands - Text on back: The Bad Land’s are the
worlds greatest example of the production of weird, fantastic,
unexplainable freaks of nature, through early erosion. Great mountains,
deep canyons, little hills, castles, palaces, fortresses and figures of
every shape stand silently, without a spear of vegetation, while at their
feet is that nutritious grass which makes South Dakota famous. These Bad
Lands are now embraced in the Bad Lands National Monument, created by
President Roosevelt in 1938. Vintage linen postcard has writing on the
back, is postmarked 1950 and complete with intact 1-cent stamp. Card is in

South Dakota State Bird - Text on back:
South Dakota State Bird
- Chinese Ringneck Pheasant. (Phasianus Colchicus Torquatus) The South
Dakota state bird first introduced to the state in 1898, found its new
home to its liking and thrived prodigiously. In 1943, the legislature
named it the state bird. This scene is from the original canvas painted
especially to give true rendition to South Dakota's Official State Bird.
