A Note from the Director Having a conversation is all the buzz at the moment. Whether it is through a traditional
method, such as face-to-face, or using some aspect of social media, conversing with people has never been more important. The South Dakota State Historical Society Press has
embraced that concept ever since it started publishing books fourteen years ago. Each time we publish a new book, we are, in effect, having a conversation with the reader through the author’s words.
Our part in the conversation may be hidden, but it is vitally important to the success
of the book you are holding. We participate in that conversation by researching, editing,
producing, and then marketing each book. Without such contributions, the conversation would be far more one-sided; authors would speak to themselves and few others.
The way in which we hold this conversation with authors and readers is in a state of
flux at the moment. Printed books have been a source of information and discussion-
starters for hundreds of years, but there is a new kid on the block. Ebooks, digital versions of the traditional, printed books, have begun to raise their voices in the collective book conversation. Realizing that there is a valid place for ebooks, the South Dakota State
Historical Society Press is working to bring some of our titles into the discussion in digital format. Over the next year or so, you can expect to see more and more of our titles appearing on our website as ebooks.
I am excited that I am involved in the book-publishing industry at this dynamic time. It will be fascinating to see what happens as people continue adopting new technologies
with which to converse with and about books. Equally fascinating is our line of new titles for 2010–2011. As sometimes happens, one subject seems to attract multiple treatments
from different authors, and so we bring two different titles to the conversation about the famous Hunkpapa leader Sitting Bull. Joining them on our list are a collection of essays
about people of the Black Hills who, while important to the region, did not quite warrant having their faces carved on Mount Rushmore, and the first book-length study of the
Populism movement in South Dakota. Our children’s list continues to grow, as well. This year we have already published The Mystery of the Maize and will add the fifth Prairie Tale, full of stunning illustrations from Lakota artist Donald Montileaux, this fall.
I hope you will find time to enjoy one or more of these new books and, perhaps, to start your own conversations with authors and illustrators.

Sitting Bull, Prisoner of War Dennis C. Pope Inside the famous chief ’s camp at Fort Randall, Dakota Territory After his surrender at Fort Buford in what is now North Dakota, the United States Army transported Sitting Bull and his followers down the Missouri River to Fort Randall, roughly seventy miles west of Yankton. There the famed Hunkpapa leader remained for twenty-two months, until September 1883. During that year and a half, Sitting Bull conducted tribal business, met with dignitaries and visitors, and interacted with those who imprisoned him. Dennis Pope has written a dramatic account of that time and those relationships, taking the reader inside Sitting Bull’s camp to see the day-to-day reality of captive life for this powerful man and his people. Pope paints an insider’s view of the events of these months, using extensive research, primary accounts from eye-witnesses, and the observations and writings of a reporter from the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer Press. The combination of sources presents an almost minute-by-minute description, intimately depicting the great chief’s character, beliefs, and thought processes. Sitting Bull, Prisoner of War fills a gap in the great chief’s story, allowing readers to explore a previously little-known episode of his life. Dennis C. Pope is a published author and film producer with a lifelong interest in Sitting Bull. He lives in Cardiff, Wales.

From the book . . . “The cause of excitement at Buford that day was the fact that the Lakota at the head of the procession, slowly riding alongside the Indian trader Jean Louis Legaré, was the most notorious Indian in the world—Sitting Bull. This day he did not look the part. What the onlookers saw was a man dressed in a dirty threadbare calico shirt, plain black leggings, and an old dirty woolen blanket wrapped around his waist. His face was partially hidden by a calico handkerchief, wrapped turban-like, around his head. This bandana was pulled low over his eyes to protect them from the light, as he was suffering from an eye infection, a condition he was prone to. His attire was among the shabbiest in that dismal procession of his own Hunkpapa Lakota band, Itazipe Sica, the “‘Bad Bows.’”

Exploring the Black Hills through memoirs, biographies, and diaries Millions of visitors view the four famous faces of Mount Rushmore each year, but the Black Hills are home to more than just the presidents in Gutzon Borglum’s carved memorial. A wide variety of people have made their home in the Black Hills region over the past one hundred and thirty-five years. The essays in Beyond Mount Rushmore introduce the lives, hopes, dreams, and realities of ten of those other faces. Authors cover the gamut of Black Hills life, from the gold rush of the mid-1870s all the way through to the search for log-cabin isolation in the late-twentieth century. Famous musicians, Deadwood’s small Chinese population, an influential manager of the Homestake Mine, a Civilian Conservation Corps worker, a moral crusader, the first African American woman to settle in the Hills, and Alfred Hitchcock provide the cast of characters in this literary monument to Black Hills men and women. Editor Mary A. Kopco selected each essay from the pages of South Dakota History, the quarterly journal of the South Dakota State Historical Society, offering readers insight into the private and public lives of these fascinating Black Hills residents. Kopco’s introduction provides the context for each “face” in terms of the general history of the region, weaving the common and uncommon threads that bind the years, themes, and personalities together. Kopco is director of the Adams Museum & House in Deadwood, South Dakota, and is an author and historical consultant. Contributors: Donald W. Bolin Thomas R. Buecker Todd David Epp

From the book . . . “While the granite busts of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln may be South Dakota’s most identifiable faces, the region’s history is replete with the stories of the many people who carved out lives here. This anthology features a selection of memoirs, biographies, and essays written by and about Black Hills personalities. The ten essays and personal reflections brought together in this volume give evidence of the colorful culture and heritage of South Dakota and provide a complex image of the Black Hills region.”

Principle over Party The Farmers’ Alliance and Populism
in South Dakota, 1880–1900
Principle overParty THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE AND POPULISM IN SOUTH DAKOTA, 1880 –1900
R. Alton Lee South Dakota’s role in nineteenth-century political movements The Populist movement of the 1890s was the most successful third-party movement in United States history. Although it never elected a president, this movement seated governors, congressmen, and United States senators and played a major political role in a number of states, including all the Great Plains states then in the Union. Populism has been thoroughly studied in many areas of the country, but South Dakota has, thus far, been neglected. R. Alton Lee’s Principle over Party corrects this oversight, shining light on the prominent South Dakotans who strode down the path to the progressive agrarian politics that dominated the state in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Lee examines the causes that led South Dakota farmers to rise up against the establishment and take their fate into their own hands. He discusses prominent figures Henry Loucks and Alonzo Wardall as well as political and social movements, such as the Grange and the Farmers’ Alliance, and how these men and their organizations sowed the seeds for the Populist Party in South Dakota. Principle over Party showcases the successes and failures of one of the most lasting political movements in this nation’s history. R. Alton Lee is professor emeritus of history at the University of South Dakota. An acknowledged expert on American political history, Lee has written widely about midwestern and Great Plains history.

The Sitting Bull Surrender Census Ephriam D. Dickson III
Never-before published census taken in 1881 Following Sitting Bull’s surrender to the United States Army in 1881, the Indian Division of the United States Census Office conducted a full and detailed census of the Sioux Indians at Standing Rock Indian Agency in central Dakota Territory. This census is the most complete and accurate account of Sitting Bull’s followers and, until Ephriam Dickson compiled this important work, the information contained within its pages has been hidden in archives beyond the reach of most researchers. Dickson’s book provides researchers and historians with an unrivalled resource with which to assess and analyze this group of American Indians. In Sitting Bull Surrender Census, Dickson has taken one of the total thirty-three different lists of Lakota families, with support from oral histories, and provided insight into the composition of communitiy or tiyospaye at Standing Rock, as Lakotas shifted from their traditional buffalo-hunting ways to their new sedentary life on the reservation.

“What an incredible piece of work this is.” —stewmagnuson.blogspot More than twenty-five years after the publication of Dammed Indians, Michael Lawson revisits his classic work. The 1944 Pick-Sloan Plan created a wealth of economic opportunities for the states lying along the Missouri River. But the project also flooded more than two hundred thousand acres of bottomlands that helped to sustain the Sioux (Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Indians) and forced the relocation of whole communities. Dammed Indians Revisited examines how the work of the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation affected the communities along the river, demonstrating the unequal relationship between the tribes and the federal government. Lawson has unearthed new information, revising his original work to bring the story up to date. While the flooding occurred more than sixty years ago, the impact of the plan and its ramifications for continuing tribal-federal relations remain relevant in the twenty-first century. Michael L. Lawson is a partner with Morgan, Angel & Associates in Washington, DC. He has served as historian for the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and has written extensively on American Indian history.

Elsewhere in the country, they would be considered small towns, but in South Dakota, they are urban population centers. In the first half of the twentieth century, when many more South Dakotans lived on farms and ranches than do today, towns such as Milbank and Mitchell formed hubs for commerce, social activities, and culture. Eric Fowler and Sheila Delaney lived distinct lives and looked at their communities from different viewpoints, but their childhood and young adult memories of South Dakota share common themes of life away from the farm. Fowler dealt with the hardships of a low-income, single-parent family in Milbank and struggled with the deprivation this life entailed. Delaney experienced the wealth and occasional grandeur of Mitchell’s social elite, struggling instead with the expectations of and limited opportunities for women. Yet, both found youthful joy in mid-century South Dakota urban life. These two contrasting memoirs bring forth commonalities in the authors’ early experiences of smalltown life, even while they followed differing paths to adulthood.
Award-winning author Molly P. Rozum is associate professor of history at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. She provides the introduction for this book, drawing the two stories together. Rozum specializes in history of the American West and American Indian history. You might also enjoy

Beyond Mount Rushmore Edited and with an Introduction by Mary A. Kopco
Despite their isolated location on the edge of the Great Plains, the Black Hills have become an important tourist destination over the course of the past one hundred years. Suzanne Barta Julin examines the early development of this phenomenon and the influences—political, local, and national—that helped create a prosperous tourist industry in the region between the 1880s and the start of World War II. Public policy and state and federal government actions promoted the Black Hills as the vanguard of the West—both the mountain West and the Wild West—and developed a national park, two national monuments, the largest state park in the country, and the iconic Mount Rushmore as methods to direct tourist traffic to the region. Julin argues that these promotional efforts affected more than just tourism; they helped form or change local trends and issues and established the identity of the region. A Marvelous Hundred Square Miles addresses the concerted efforts of governmental, quasi-governmental, and private groups to develop the tourist industry in the early twentieth century. While this book is specifically about the Black Hills, its larger themes pertain to the development of tourism as one of the most important industries in the modern United States. Suzanne Barta Julin is an award-winning author, born and raised in South Dakota. She received her Ph.D. from Washington State University in Pullman. She currently works as a public historian for local, state, and national organizations, specializing in twentieth-century South Dakota and western history.

In southeastern South Dakota, wild animals begin to stir as day turns to dusk. A curious raccoon emerges from his bed to hunt for food. Tempted by sticky honey oozing from a bee’s nest, the little raccoon finds trouble he did not bargain for. The Raccoon and the Bee Tree combines the traditions of American Indian storytelling and European fables. Written down one hundred years ago by Dakota Indian physician Charles A. Eastman and his wife Elaine Goodale Eastman, The Raccoon and the Bee Tree contains a lesson for children that is still important and relevant in today’s modern society. Doctor Charles A. Eastman (1858–1939) was a Wahpeton Dakota, who worked on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He also published nine books and articles on Sioux legends, customs, and beliefs. Born in Massachusetts, Elaine Goodale Eastman (1863–1953) moved to Pine Ridge in 1886 to teach on the reservation, where she met and married Charles Eastman. She encouraged her husband to write about his experiences, life, and heritage, and worked as editor on his publications.

“Highly recommended”—Midwest Book Review
Max and Hannah’s discovery that their grandfather has kept a journal since he was young impresses them, but Grandpa has an even longer journal in mind when he whisks them off to the Black Hills for a mystery-solving trip. When they arrive, the children and Grandpa set off on a hike to find a ponderosa pine nearly eight hundred years old.
While visiting their grandparents’ farm in South Dakota, Max and Hannah discover hundreds of rocks piled up in the corner of a field. Puzzled, the twins ask Grandpa if he has the key to this mystery. How did all those round rocks get there?
Along the way, Max gets lost, hears a mysterious voice, and is soon discovering the secrets wrapped up in the old tree’s rings. When Hannah and Grandpa eventually find Max again, he has all the answers to what is inside that ancient journal.
The Mystery of the Round Rocks is a “nicely done lesson in natural history.”—Roundup Magazine

Inquisitive young historians Max and Hannah unearth the mystery of corn “This book teaches children about the historical value of corn, as well as its evolution to becoming a staple in the American diet.”—Foreword Reviews Magazine Max and Hannah love maize; they eat corn on the cob in the summer and like to make popcorn, too. But, they have a lot to learn about maize and all its mysteries. The twins’ grandfather has a great story to tell them and more interesting places to visit. On their adventures, Hannah discovers a link to Heron and Muskrat, a pair of twins from the ancient maize-growing people who lived in South Dakota. What does she find, and what do the modern-day twins learn about the brother and sister from thousands of years ago? The Mystery of the Maize shows the development of maize as it links the past to the present. Max and Hannah find out that maize can be used in many ways, and they discover that things have changed a lot since people first planted the crop thousands of years ago. This is the third book from former South Dakota attorney general Mark Meierhenry and five-time state treasurer David Volk. Oglala Lakota artist Marty Two Bulls, Sr., has produced award-winning illustrations and artwork for twenty-five years. He holds a bachelors degree in fine arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Wild West legends debunked
Delve inside Laura Ingalls Wilder’s life and work
“This is an interesting, professional, and well-written study.” —Great Plains Quarterly
Winner, Scholarly Nonfiction—WILLA Award, 2008 Winner, Biography—National Indie Excellence Book Awards, 2008
“A fascinating read for anyone who wants to learn about how the daring real-life deeds (and misdeeds) of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane were destined to grow beyond imagination through the telling.”—Midwest Book Review
“McLaird’s writing is concise and to the point, exploding myths about two Western characters.”—LibraryThing.com Although Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane spent only a few weeks in Deadwood at the same time, their fame and fate have become intertwined and their relationship legendary. James D. McLaird examines the contemporary accounts that turned these two Wild West wanderers into dime-novel and motionpicture stars.
Fact and fiction have become so woven together that a definitive picture of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill is almost impossible. Their brief friendship and subsequent burial next to each other in Mount Moriah Cemetery simply added to their legendary status and made them stalwarts of Wild West pop culture and Deadwood mythology. James D. McLaird is professor emeritus of history at Dakota Wesleyan University. He is the author of books and articles focusing on the Black Hills and the American West.
S O U T H DAKOTA BIOGRAPHY S E R I E S
“A fascinating and remarkable book that deserves a place on the shelf of every Laura fan”—The Homesteader “Pamela Smith Hill has [created] a work of considerable scholarship and insight.”—The Little House Heritage Trust
“Hill skillfully examines the complex relationship between Wilder and her daughter.”—Kansas History “If you’ve ever wanted to peek behind the scenes of the “Little House” series, this is your book. . . . [It] is a page turner.”—Roundup Magazine
Pamela Smith Hill examines Wilder’s tumultuous, but ultimately successful, professional and personal relationship with her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. Over the course of more than thirty years, mother and daughter engaged in a dynamic working relationship, shifting between trust, distrust, and respect. Hill provides a context, both familial and literary, for Wilder’s writing career. Pamela Smith Hill is an awardwinning author of historical novels for young adults. She grew up in Missouri and started her writing career in South Dakota

S O U T H DAKOTA BIOGRAPHY S E R I E S
Much of Seth Bullock’s modern renown comes from television, motion pictures, and his friendship with President Theodore Roosevelt. But Bullock was much more than the frontier law enforcer portrayed in fictional accounts. In Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman, David Wolff examines the life work of Bullock as he helped build Deadwood, found the town of Belle Fourche, and promote the Black Hills. Wolff points out that Bullock quickly became an integral part of the burgeoning community, working to create a lasting legacy in local and regional politics, various businesses, and at the forefront of Black Hills law enforcement and forest management. David A. Wolff is associate professor of history at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South Dakota. He is an award-winning author focusing on Black Hills, South Dakota, mining, and western history. Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman is the third book in the South Dakota Biography Series, which highlights some of the state’s most famous residents. Future subjects in this series will include Crazy Horse, Spotted Tail, Gabriel Renville, and Casey Tibbs.

Living with nature, South Dakota-style
Jerry Wilson “fashions an intimate tapestry of the Missouri River bluffs and woodlands that are underappreciated in the Plains.”—Great Plains Quarterly “With plenty of anecdotes and intriguing stories, Waiting for Coyote’s Call is solid and very recommended reading for environmentally-oriented readers.”—Midwest Book Review
“Waiting for Coyote’s Call is an engrossing memoir to explore on a blustery winter’s evening after you stoke the wood-burning stove and settle in your favorite chair.” —Roundup Magazine Inspired by the works of Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Annie Dillard, Jerry Wilson’s eco-memoir covers twentyfive years of trying to live life while leaving as small an environmental footprint as possible. Wilson encourages the reader to think about his or her place in nature as he recounts his own family’s experiences on prairie and woodland near the Missouri River in eastern South Dakota. From the author’s delight in homegrown tomatoes and high-flying Sandhill cranes to concerns about human interaction with the web of life, the stories of Wilson’s time on the Missouri River bluff spring off the pages of Waiting for Coyote’s Call.

Celebrating the centennial of South Dakota’s capitol
“Damgaard has done a great service in producing this information-filled book that illustrates how the South Dakota capitol has changed over the decades.” —South Dakota History
“The South Dakota State Capitol combines factual information with a casual nononsense approach to the state’s history, illustrated by spectacular photographs that pull the reader into a vivid record of the Northern Plains.”—Great Plains Quarterly “The South Dakota State Capitol is a core addition to all South Dakota historical, community, and school library reference collections, and would serve as a model template for similar historical studies of other state capitols as well.”—Midwest Book Review Standing firmly in the middle of South Dakota, on the banks of the Missouri River, Pierre seems the logical choice for the capital of the state, but twenty years of infighting took place before work started on the permanent edifice that celebrates its one hundredth anniversary this year.
