    “It’s unfair to the people of this area for us to collect taxes from our customers to help TVA [Tennessee Valley Authority] sell power at a lower price to their customers.” NEIL SIMPSON, President, Black Hills Power and Light Company 60 Expanding Futures on the Great Plains 4 EXPANDING FUTURES ON THE GREAT PLAINS Black Hills Power and Light continued to expand. The company absorbed smaller utilities. It offered power and transmission services to other areas in collaboration with public power agencies and rural electric cooperatives. But tensions with the rural cooperatives were building over territories and customers. As the federal government began to construct dams and hydroelectric facilities on the Missouri River, company officials scrambled to hold onto Black Hills Power and Light’s market and customers. 61 Expanding Futures on the Great Plains Govenor Peter Norbeck’s plan to build a dam dams on the river would revive the state’s proponents of the public power district bill were and hydroelectric facilities on the Missouri River economy.

  • Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture
    Copyright © 2004 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Historical Musings The Contours of South Dakota Political Culture JON LAUCK, JOHN E. MILLER, AND EDWARD HOGAN like other states of the Midwest and Great Plains, South Dakota en- joys a moderate republican political culture, rooted in a belief in the equality of individuals and their ability to work together for the greater good. While similarities among these states abound, differences also persist. The political culture of South Dakota is distinct from that of Minnesota, known historically for its liberal leanings, and that of Wy- oming, known for its conservatism. The political culture of South Da- kota, where Populism originated, is even quite distinct from that of North Dakota, where radical pohtical reforms did not take hold until later. As the editor of the Watertown Public Opinion noted in 1890, the "politics of North Dakota is a product of an entirely different breed of cats."' We aim to sketch some of the influences that shape the broad contours of South Dakota's political culture and, therefore, the prac- tice of politics in the state. These contours, like those of a winding streambed, can change in response to events and trends from without but frequently return to form, or what anthropologist Adam Kuper calls "the authentic, local way of being different."^ The authors wish to thank Dwight Adams, Robert Burns, Loren Carlson, Herb Cheever, Alan Clem, Marshall Damgaard, Dave Danbom.

  • Foundation's 2020 Annual Report
    FOUNDATION’S 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The Trail of Governors project survived the year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic by hitting pause. The Trail of Governors Foundation board members decided to hold off on hosting an unveiling ceremony or installing new statues. The actual trail remains as it appeared at the start of 2020, with 25 bronze statues. While in pause mode, the board was still obligated to make payments to the artists for their work to-date on the year’s commissioned statues. Attempts to seek donors and payments from those that relayed interest in donating pre-Covid-19 were dismal given the economic uncertainty and health concerns brought by the pandemic. Therefore, board members and advisors got busy filling out applications for grants to find financial assistance. The project was awarded two grants, one from the South Dakota Small Business Grant for $80,000 and one from the South Dakota Humanities Council’s CARES Relief Act for $10,000. These grants provided the necessary support to make M.Charles Michael Herreid Rounds – 4th- 31st Governor Governor of Southof South Dakota Dakota payments to the 2020 – now year 2021 – sculptors. 2020 Trail of Governors Annual Report Charles H. Sheldon, a Pierpont Republican and farmer, was the state’s 2nd governor. He served in the territorial legislative council prior to being elected governor. Sheldon was a popular Straight orator, representing the Republican party at events across South Dakota following his term Ahead, 2021 as governor. It was in Deadwood where he died from pneumonia while on such a tour. Board members remain focused on the unveiling ceremony scheduled for10 a.m.

  • Dakota Resources: the Peter Norbeck Papers at the University of South Dakota
    Copyright © 1980 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Dakota Resources: The Peter Norbeck Papers at the University of South Dakota JOHN N. OLSGAARD Archivist and Documenté Librarian Peter Norbeck was born to Swedish and Norwegian immigrant parents on 27 August 1870 near Vermillion, Dakota Territory. His father, George Norbeck, was both a farmer and an ordained Lutheran minister. Peter Norbeck's education consisted of several terms spent at the University of South Dakota, but he did not complete any formal course of study. As we can still attest at the present time, water and the access to water have always been of primary concern to the agricultural- ly based economy of South Dakota. With an eye toward this prob- lem, Peter Norbeck began his business career in 1894 by acquiring a used well-drilling machine. Before Norbeck began his drilling operation, wells were limited to approximately six hun- dred feet and cost several thousand dollars to dig. After Norbeck made several improvements on the basic design of the drilling rig, a well could be dug to a depth of seventeen hundred feet at a cost of only a few hundred dollars. Norbeck's new process en- joyed considerable financial success, and he soon moved to Red- field, South Dakota, and initiated what became the largest well- drilling concern in the Midwest. Norbeck's state political career began in 1908 when he was elected to the state senate as a progressive Republican, Copyright © 1980 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved.

  • MOUNT RUSHMORE National Memorial the SHRINE of DEMOCRACY It Is the Greatness of the World's Adventure That Gives Us the Subject Matter for Our Colossal Carvings
    MOUNT RUSHMORE National Memorial THE SHRINE OF DEMOCRACY It is the greatness of the world's adventure that gives us the subject matter for our colossal carvings. It was ,the 'greatness of the awakened mind, the freed heart of the Italian Renaissance, that surged over Europe, freeing the hearts and souls of men, shaking off the centuries-old slaver­ ies fled westward, and here founded free institutions. Few races have contributed immortal service to civilization. America has; America has lived profoundly-and in that living made immortal contributions to civilization-her struggle out of the Puritan chrysalis to the Declaration of lndependence,-the war between the states over the interpretation of the Constitution,-America's return to save Europe and civilization. In the first she has written into the blue heavens that "man has a right to be free and to be happy." Unburdened by encumbering verbiage, these eleven words have changed the government of the world. These eleven words are the heart and soul of western civilization. These eleven words are the motive back of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, which we are now carving in the Black Hills of South Dakota, commemorating America's political accomplishment dedicated by Presi­ dent Franklin D. Roosevelt as a shrine to Democracy. These eleven words and their potential meaning to civilization would justify their being carved in gold in the dimensions we are cutting them in granite. We are not creating a monument to Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, or Roosevelt but to the meaning of these eleven words as developed into and main­ tained in a national government BY THESE FOUR GREAT NATIONAL LEADERS.
