The act instructed the Secretary of Commerce to foster air commerce; designate and establish airways; establish, operate, and maintain aids to air navigation (but not airports); arrange for research and development to improve such aids; license pilots; issue airworthiness certificates for aircraft and major aircraft components; and investigate accidents. (See Introduction.) May 23, 1926: Western Air Express (WAE) became one of the first U.S. airlines to offer regular passenger service, flying from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City via Las Vegas. WAE had begun flying on Apr 17 as the fourth carrier to begin operations under a new air mail contract system that became the major source of income for the era's small but growing airline industry (see Jun 3, 1926). Over twelve years earlier, the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line had offered the world's first regularly scheduled airline service using heavier-than-air craft. This enterprise lasted for only the first three months of 1914. On Mar 1, 1925, T.

  • South Dakota State Historical Society Markers
    South Dakota State Historical Society Markers (REVISED June 2020) The official South Dakota State Historical Society (SDSHS) marker program began in 1950. State Historian Doane Robinson created the program to erect markers at significant historical locations across the state. At this time, the SDSHS was a public organization and not an official part of state government. Contributions from the SDSHS funded the first markers. Robinson and interested members of the SDSHS identified potential sites and then raised money for the markers. Interested members contributed money both for specific markers and also for those to be purchased at Robinson’s discretion. Funding for these early markers was often a cooperative effort between the SDSHS and interested groups. The Department of Transportation, through its Publicity Division (forerunner of the Department of Tourism), often contributed to the erection of these markers along state highways. State Historian Will Robinson (son of Doane) continued the program reaching out to many local historical societies and civic groups who raised money to purchase markers in their communities. When the SDSHS became a part of state government, the program continued to purchase markers through donations. The marker program has always, and continues to be, primarily funded through private donations with very limited state funds expended on the program. NOTES ON THE MARKERS The marker texts presented below are how they appear on the markers themselves – errors, bad grammar, cultural insensitivities and various spellings included. NOTES ON THIS INVENTORY The markers are listed numerically. There are gaps in the number sequence. Many numbers were historically assigned to small plaques and directional arrows (example: “Marker One Mile Ahead,” that are not text specific to a site.
