  • Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota
    Copyright © 2001 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota Harold H. Scbuler outh Dakota citizens came out by the thousands to welcome thirteen presidents from 1899 to 1999. Flags and bunting float- Sed from rooftops and doorways, bands played, and bells rang to mark each gala occasion. Cheering crowds jammed parade routes and strained to catch sight of the president. A hol- iday atmosphere surrounded the visit of William McKinley, the first presidential visitor to the state, when an estimated one hun- dred thousand people gathered in city streets and at railroad depots to see him. The only nineteenth-centur>' president to visit South Dakota, McKinley was also the only president unaccom- panied by the Secret Service. Established in 1865 to investigate rampant counterfeiting, the agency was not charged with pro- tecting the president until after McKinley's assassination in 1901. Throughout the 1900s, presidential visits continued to be awe- inspiring public events, with thirty-six South Dakota cities host- ing at least one president. More than patriotic pageantry for just one man, these visits were also the story of a traveling White House amidst a swirl of Secret Service security, press corps, and politics. William McKinley, 14 October 1899 n the third year of his presidency. William McKinley agreed to visit South Dakota on 14 October 1899 as a part of a mid- Iwestern tour. It may well have been the state's biggest one- day celebration as the president "was met with tlie most enthu- siastic ovation at every point," the Aberdeen Daily Neu)S report- ed.

  • U.S. Senator E. James Abdnor: a Life Compiled by Jon Lauck, May 2012
    U.S. Senator E. James Abdnor: A Life Compiled by Jon Lauck, May 2012 In 1899, an 18-year-old Sam Abdelnour left the village of Ayn Al-Arab in Lebanon, which was then part of Greater Syria and within the Ottoman Empire, on a cargo ship bound for the United States. He could speak no English. At the time, it was reported that Sam “plans to set himself up in the business of peddling” and that “he is anxious to learn the language of his new country.” Abdelnour, who Anglicized his name to Abdnor, first opened a general store in O’Neill, Nebraska, but in 1904 moved to Lyman County, South Dakota, filed a homestead claim on 160 acres, and planted corn. His homestead patent claim was signed by President Theodore Roosevelt. Abdnor also continued his work as a “peddler,” selling to many of the new settlers in the area and to the Sioux Indians at Lower Brule. Abdnor said “the Greeks run restaurants, the German likes farming and manufacturing, the Italians and Poles go into mining. The Scandinavians turn to fishing and farming and my countrymen, the Lebanese, were noted as peddlers of fine linens and other light articles.” Abdnor sold overalls, shirts, linens, lace, buttons, eyeglasses, pins, needles and jewelry by walking from farm to farm and, later, using a two-seated buggy with a merchandise box built on the back. At this time, Lyman County was on the edge of the homesteading frontier and many men in the area were working on the Milwaukee Road rail line, which would run through Reliance, Kennebec, Presho, and Vivian and into Jones County towns such as Draper and Murdo and on further West.

    Copyright © 1981 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. South Dakotans in the United States Senate: A Composite Portrait LARRY PRESSLER Since statehood in 1889, twenty-three South Dakotans have served in the United States Senate. These senators have been diverse in their viewpoints and have offered different and often significant contributions to the American political experience. A composite review of these various individuals suggests some of the political preferences and propensities of South Dakota as a state and, perhaps, enhances our understanding of our own political choices. The following biographical details and sketches are based largely on material in standard biographical reference sources.' These sources are supplemented by recollections of the 1. The beginning points for these biographical notes were sketches published in various editions of the CongressioTial Directory, the Biographical Directory of the American Congress, and the Dictionary of American Biography. Most valuable general sources were Herbert S. Schell's History of South Dakota. 2d ed. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1968), and Alan L. Clem's Prairie State Politics: Popular Democracy in South Dakota (Washington, D.C: Public Affairs Press, 1967).
