About the Book:Whether South Dakota is the thirty-ninth or fortieth state in the Union remains uncertain, as President Harrison purposely shuffled the documents to keep the order of admission between the Dakotas unknown. Regardless of its position, South Dakota's history is among the most lively, colorful, and complex of the fifty states. The state's slogan, "Land of Infinite Variety," and its political stance, described as "Progressive in a conservative way," reflect this rich history. While the state's place-names—Fort Randall, Fort Pierre, Lead, Deadwood, and Wounded Knee—bring to mind figures like Crook, Custer, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud, as well as images of bronzed frontiersmen and bearded prospectors, some of the most dramatic events in South Dakota's history featured men in overalls and frock-coats, including farmers and political leaders. In a comprehensive, one-volume work that is the result of three decades of research, Dr. Herbert S. Schell offers a full-scale history of South Dakota. Published appropriately one hundred years after this rich, beautiful, and challenging region became a United States territory, Dr. Schell’s book unfolds the story of South Dakota’s growth and development. He makes a particular effort to connect state happenings with regional and national events. His work delves into significant topics such as the impact of climate and environment, the development of political institutions during the territorial period, the farming and ranching economy, industrial activities, and the transformation of the state’s Native American inhabitants as they adjusted to the ways of the white settlers. Balanced, authoritative, and comprehensive, Dr. Schell’s work is designed to serve both the general reader and the specialist. It provides an in-depth exploration of South Dakota’s history, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the state's past and its place within the broader American story.
