The History of Badlands National Monument and the White River (Big) Badlands of South Dakota
by Ray H. Mattison, Robert A. Grom
About the author
Robert A. Grom is known for historical nonfiction. Project Gutenberg lists him as the coauthor of The History of Badlands National Monument and the White River (Big) Badlands of South Dakota, a work connected to the early history of Badlands National Monument.
That Badlands history notes that he served as Chief Park Naturalist at Badlands National Monument and contributed photographs, maps, historical research, and revisions to the manuscript. Those details suggest a writer closely involved with public history and the interpretation of place.
More recently, publisher listings also connect him with “Wid Scalpel and Shillelah” – The Life of William Hudson Daly, showing a range that extends from environmental and regional history to biography. Reliable biographical details about his wider life are limited in the sources reviewed, so this overview focuses on the work that could be confirmed.
