| 520 | _a"Devils Tower National Monument: A History" by Ray H. Mattison is a historical account written in the mid-20th century, specifically reflecting on events and developments leading up to and following the establishment of Devils Tower as the first national monument in the United States. The book addresses both the geological significance of the Tower and its cultural impact, delving into the legends of Native American tribes and the Tower's discovery and utilization by early explorers and settlers. Through a chronological narrative, the book explores the history of Devils Tower from its formation millions of years ago through the establishment of the national monument in 1906, driven by influential figures and significant legislation like the Antiquities Act. The author highlights Native American legends regarding the Tower, the curiosity of early explorers, the controversies involving land rights, and the eventual efforts to preserve the site amid growing tourism. Illustrating the transformation of Devils Tower into a national attraction, Mattison emphasizes how community events and infrastructure improvements facilitated access, turning the once-isolated landmark into a popular destination for visitors and climbers.
