Pre-Owned Challenge the South Dakota Story (Paperback) 0884980499 9780884980490

The purpose of this book (besides telling the story of the land and those who have lived upon it) is to instill a sense of pride among natives of and sojourners in the United States commonwealth which measures up to the galvanic tile of the Challenge State. A determined effort has been made to face reality in this book. Not every chapter in the state's history sparkles with virtue nor have all the characters in the drama between faultless and honorable. Recognition of these shortcomings is mandatory to the truth. For instance, we cannot excuse what ultimately occurred when two peoples from two unlike cultures (Indians and white) came into conflict on the land to which each, for their own reasons, honestly felt entitled to possess.
