- The Black Hills Expedition was a United States Army expedition in 1874 led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer that set out on July 2, 1874 from modern day Bismarck, North Dakota, which was then Fort Abraham Lincoln in the Dakota Territory, with orders to travel to the previously uncharted Black Hills of South Dakota. Its mission was to look for suitable locations for a fort, find a route to the southwest, and to investigate the possibility of gold mining. Custer and his unit, the 7th Cavalry, arrived in the Black Hills on July 22, 1874, with orders to return by August 30. The expedition set up a camp at the site of the future town of Custer; while Custer and the military units searched for a suitable location for a fort, civilians searched for gold, and it is disputed whether or not any substantial amount was found. Nonetheless, this prompted a mass gold rush which in turn antagonised the Sioux Indians who had been promised protection of their sacred land through Treaties made by the US government, and who were later to kill Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in the Great Sioux War of 1876–1877 between themselves and the United States. The entire expedition was photographed by William H. Illingworth, an English photographer who accompanied Custer after selection by the then-Captain William Ludlow. Ludlow, the engineer for the expedition, financed Illingworth's photography and paid him $30 per month to provide photographic plates for the US Army, of which he made 70 in all. (en)
- L'expédition des Black Hills, très médiatisée et forte de 1 200 militaires, s'est déroulée en juillet et août 1874, à travers une région inexplorée du Dakota du Nord, aux États-Unis, pour rechercher un passage vers l'ouest, sécuriser l'ensemble de la région pour les lignes de chemin de fer, et surtout trouver des gisements aurifères dans une période de flambée des cours du métal précieux. Un an plus tard, elle a entraîné la Ruée vers l'or dans les collines noires, puis la découverte du plus grand gisement d'or au monde, le Homestake Mining, qui a fait la fortune du milliardaire George Hearst, fondateur du groupe de presse du même nom. L'expédition est voulue et menée par le général George A. Custer, héros de la guerre de Sécession, alors au sommet de sa gloire, qui commande à 1 200 hommes, cinq fois plus que lors de la bataille de Little Big Horn, où il est tué deux ans plus tard. (fr)
- La spedizione nelle Black Hills (Colline Nere in italiano e Pahá Sápa in lingua lakota) fu una spedizione militare e scientifica organizzata nel 1874 dall'esercito degli Stati Uniti d'America nel territorio al confine tra gli attuali Stati del Wyoming e del Dakota del Sud allo scopo di cercare luoghi adatti per la costruzione di un avamposto militare, trovare un passaggio verso sud-ovest e verificare la veridicità delle voci che parlavano dell’esistenza dell'oro in quella regione.

- "There is no doubt as to the existence of various metals throughout the hills. As this subject has received the special attention of experts who accompanied the expedition, and will be reported upon in detail, I will only mention the fact that iron and plumbago have been found and beds of gypsum of apparently inexhaustible extent. I referred in a former dispatch to the discovery of gold. Subsequent examinations at numerous points confirm and strengthen the fact of the existence of gold in the Black Hills." (en)
