South Dakota History VOL. 41, NO. 1 SPRING 2011 South Dakota History 1 Index to South Dakota History, Volumes 1–40 (1970–2010) COMPILED BY RODGER HARTLEY Copyright 2011 by the South Dakota State Historical Society, Pierre, S.Dak. 57501-2217 ISSN 0361-8676 USER’S GUIDE Over the past forty years, each volume (four issues) of South Dakota History has carried its own index. From 1970 to 1994, these indexes were printed separately upon comple- tion of the last issue for the year. If not bound with the volume, as in a library set, they were easily misplaced or lost. As the journal approached its twenty-fifth year of publica- tion, the editors decided to integrate future indexes into the back of every final issue for the volume, a practice that began with Volume 26. To mark the milestone anniversary in 1995, they combined the indexes produced up until that time to create a twenty-five-year cumulative index. As the journal’s fortieth anniversary year of 2010 approached, the need for another compilation became clear. The index presented here integrates the past fifteen volume indexes into the earlier twenty-five-year cumulative index. While indexers’ styles and skills have varied over the years, every effort has been made to create a product that is as complete and consistent as possible. Throughout the index, volume numbers appear in bold-face type, while page numbers are in book-face. Within the larger entries, references to brief or isolated pas- sages are listed at the beginning, while more extensive references are grouped under the subheadings that follow. Of necessity, these categories are fairly general and may overlap. Researchers will want to check all possible leads. Main entries and subentries alike are alphabetized letter by letter until the first mark of punctuation, such as a comma, colon, or period. Spaces and words in parentheses are ignored, as are articles, conjunctions, and prepositions within subentries. Main entries consisting of the same words are presented in order of person, place, and thing. Numbers are alphabetized as though they were spelled out. In instances where several dates are listed in subentries, they appear in chronological order for ease of use. The names of Chinese and Japanese individuals are listed according to traditional style (family name followed by given name, with no internal comma) except in the case of individuals who adopted western style. Federal and state governmental departments, bureaus, offices and the like are listed under either “United States” or individual state names. To avoid some duplication, publications mentioned within articles are listed by main title only, with no author or subtitle. Authors of publications mentioned within articles are listed by name only, without the title of their publications. Some articles, especially memoirs, contain passing mention of numerous family members, whose individual listing can be- come extensive. In such instances, references to family members have been grouped under the main subject’s name within the subheading “family of,” and users will need to check these page numbers if looking for relatives of the main subject. Items in italics may be assumed to be books or periodicals, while those enclosed in quo- tation marks indicate articles. Anything else (from paintings to poems to ships) is followed by a descriptor in parentheses, as are entries whose meaning may be confusing. Identifiers have also been added in instances where different individuals share the same name, or where an individual’s first name is unknown. Every attempt has been made to determine whether those sharing the same or similar names are indeed the same person, but where identities could not be determined with certainty, the entries have been left separate.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • The Dakota Fairy Tales of L. Frank Baum
    Copyright © 2000 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Dakota Fairy Tales of La Frank Baum Mark I. West L, Frank Baum lived in Aberdeen, South Dakota, from Sep- tember 1888 until April 1891. During this period, he ran a store called Baum's Bazaar for a little over a year, and when that enterprise failed, he tried his hand at publishing a weekly newspaper named the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer. Baum man- aged to keep the paper going until March 1891, but in the end, it, too, proved to be a financial failure. Feeling defeated, Baum left Aberdeen that April and moved to Chicago, where he even- tually achieved fame as a children's author. Even though Baum had little success as an Aberdeen businessman, the experiences he gained while living on the Dakota prairie provided him with material and insights that he would later draw upon in his sto- ries. The literary critics and biographers who have studied Baum are not in complete agreement as to how his Dakota years influenced his writings. Some critics argue that the opening scenes in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), which Baum places in Kansas, are really set in South Dakota. Michael Patrick Hearn takes this position in The Annotated Wizard ofOz, stat- ing that these scenes "are largely Baum's recollections of the great gray prairie of the Dakota Territory (now South Dakota)."' The historian Nancy Tystad Koupal takes a somewhat different 1. Hearn, Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography to Tbe Annotated Wizard of Oz York: Clarkson N.

  • Sky and Telescope
    SkyandTelescope.com The Lunar 100 By Charles A. Wood Just about every telescope user is familiar with French comet hunter Charles Messier's catalog of fuzzy objects. Messier's 18th-century listing of 109 galaxies, clusters, and nebulae contains some of the largest, brightest, and most visually interesting deep-sky treasures visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Little wonder that observing all the M objects is regarded as a virtual rite of passage for amateur astronomers. But the night sky offers an object that is larger, brighter, and more visually captivating than anything on Messier's list: the Moon. Yet many backyard astronomers never go beyond the astro-tourist stage to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to really appreciate what they're looking at, and how magnificent and amazing it truly is. Perhaps this is because after they identify a few of the Moon's most conspicuous features, many amateurs don't know where Many Lunar 100 selections are plainly visible in this image of the full Moon, while others require to look next. a more detailed view, different illumination, or favorable libration. North is up. S&T: Gary The Lunar 100 list is an attempt to provide Moon lovers with Seronik something akin to what deep-sky observers enjoy with the Messier catalog: a selection of telescopic sights to ignite interest and enhance understanding. Presented here is a selection of the Moon's 100 most interesting regions, craters, basins, mountains, rilles, and domes. I challenge observers to find and observe them all and, more important, to consider what each feature tells us about lunar and Earth history.

  • Download Our Landlady, Lyman Frank Baum, U of Nebraska Press
    Our Landlady, Lyman Frank Baum, U of Nebraska Press, 1996, 0803212216, 9780803212213, 285 pages. L. Frank Baum is internationally loved for his series of books about the wonderful Land of Oz. From January 1890 to February 1891 Baum wrote a column entitled "Our Landlady" that ran regularly in the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer. In all, he wrote forty-eight installments, each treating with practiced naiveti the problems facing the brand-new state of South Dakota. Through his fictional landlady, Sairy Ann Bilkins, Baum commented on drought, railroads, suffrage, prairie populism, the Ghost Dance Movement, prohibition, and dozens of other matters. Together, the "Our Landlady" columns constitute a satirical history of South Dakota's troubled first year. Baum's genius as a fiction writer can be clearly seen in four of his recurring characters. Mrs. Bilkins runs for mayor, alternately feeds and starves her boarders, and keeps track of everybody else's business. She harbors a secret passion for one of her boarders, the cigar-smoking Colonel. She nags Tom, the clerk who habitually fails to pay his rent. She chides the Doctor about the flimflammery of American medicine. Thirteen of the columns were collected in a 1941 South Dakota Writers' Project pamphlet, but Nancy Tystad Koupal provides the first complete edition and the first to include adequate information about the time, place, slang, and circumstances necessary for bringing the characters back to life. Koupal, a long-time student of Baum, has written numerous articles on Baum for journals such as the Great Plains Quarterly. She is the director of the Research and Publishing Program of the South Dakota State Historical Society.
