I Mages of Governors Robert Vessey, Peter Norbeck and George S. Mickelson Once Again Enhance South Dakota's Capital City of Pi mages of Governors Robert Vessey, Peter Norbeck and George S. Mickelson once again enhance South Dakota’s Capital City Iof Pierre where all left their mark years ago. The Trail of Governor’s Foundation unveiled bronze statues honoring the governors on Nov. 1, 2014 in a Capitol Rotunda celebration that also commemorated South Dakota’s 125th anniversary of statehood. The annual unveiling ceremony, previously held on or adjacent to Flag Day, moved in observance of this special anniversary. South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard shared historical glimpses and character traits for each honored governor. Family members representing the governors as well as others with a historical tie or appreciation celebrated the leaders’ contributions to the state. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Arthur Mellette – 1st Governor of South Dakota 2014 Trail of Governors Annual Report Governor Robert Vessey Gov. Robert Vessey was funded by the South Dakota Retailers Association for which he was a founding member in 1897. The four unveiling his statue were SDRA Executive Director Shawn Lyons, SDRA Board President DeLon Mork, former SDRA Attorney/Lobbyist Ron Olinger who is a Vessey donor along with his wife Linda, and former SDRA Ex- ecutive Director Jerry Wheeler who the Olingers honored with their donation. Vessey’s bronze likeness harkens back to the days when he was a retail shop owner. Artists Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby illustrated Vessey in early shop- keeper garb with an apron over business attire, and his smile and raised hands greet a well-known customer. Vessey’s resume reflects a multi-faceted man who was not only governor and shop owner, but wore several other hats as well. Vessey’s statue welcomes all who drive by the corner of Capitol Avenue and Nicollet Street, next to the SDRA’s front door. He’s back in business. Gus and Jan Ritchey provided a quarter of Vessey’s funding in memory of Gus’ father and Vessey’s grandson, Bud Ritchey. Robert Vessey - 7th Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2014 Trail of Governors Annual Report Governor Peter Norbeck Any dedicated South Dakota history student will recognize the landform Artist James Michael Maher replicated at the base of Gov. Peter Norbeck’s bronze statue: The Needles mountain formation in South Dakota’s Black Hills. Norbeck masterminded the design of the Needles Highway with its pigtail bridges and granite tunnels framing images of Mount Rushmore National Memorial. He helped create Custer State Park which at the time was the country’s largest state park, now ranking second. Norbeck was a hands-on leader with ideas to enhance South Dakota’s Black Hills, creating world-class tourism attractions, a thriving visitor industry, and a reliable highway system to transport those visitors. His other passions included well-drilling and wildlife conservation. Norbeck’s statue stands at the corner of Pierre and Dakota Streets in downtown Pierre. He holds a surveyor’s rod in one hand while pointing with the other, as though plotting his next epic project. Norbeck’s donors are Dr. Karl and Mar- garet Cash Wegner, and David and Rebecca Scott. Those unveiling his likeness in the Capitol Rotunda were the Scotts as well as Norbeck family members, Margaret Cash Wegner and Jim Jennings. Peter Norbeck - 9th Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2014 Trail of Governors Annual Report Governor George S. Mickelson As the most recent governor whose statue was unveiled in 2014, many in attendance had firsthand memories of beloved giant, Gov. George S. Mickelson. Mickelson was one of South Dakota’s tallest governors and his accomplishments were also giant. One example is the state’s REDI Fund for economic develop- ment which is still at work. Those at the unveiling recalled the cheerful leader with Speaker as a middle name as well as the deeply sad day his life was lost in a plane crash with other South Dakotans, all while on duty for their state. Artist Maher’s image shows Mickelson wearing his oft-seen grin, a jacket slung casually over one shoulder, and his hand outstretched to greet a new or old friend. The Fighting Stallions bronze, commissioned in memory of those lost while serving their state on April 19, 1993, can be seen over Mickelson’s shoul- der at his statue’s placement along Capitol Avenue. Mickelson’s donors are First Lady Linda Mickelson Graham, the Mickelson family and the South Dakota Community Foundation, which the former governor helped launch in 1987. Members of his family including First Lady Linda, their three children, several grandchildren, and sister Patricia Mickelson Adam witnessed the unveiling. George S. Mickelson - 28th Governor of South Dakota A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2014 Trail of Governors Annual Report Looking to 2015 The Trail of Governors Foundation now focuses on the next three governors to be cast in bronze: 4th Gov. Charles Herreid, 18th Gov. George T. Mickelson, and 25th Gov. Richard Kneip. The next unveiling is planned for June 12, 2015 in the Capitol Rotunda. Full funding has been secured for Govs. Mickelson and Kneip, with fund- raising underway for Herreid. Our Donors The foundation had raised a grand total of $808,598.72 at the close of 2014. Eleven statues are fully funded, two are one-quarter funded, and 17 still require full fund- ing. The South Dakota Community Foundation provides fund guidance and all do- nations are tax-deductible. Donors contributing one-quarter of a statue ($17,000), one-half ($34,000), three-quarters ($51,000), up to the full contribution ($68,000), receive acknowledgement on that statue’s plaque. All donors – regardless of amount – are acknowledged on the Trail’s website at www.Trailof Governors.com. An endowment fund was created in 2014 for funds to help with the statues’ main- tenance and other needs in the future. Contributions may be made in honor or memory of individuals and this will be acknowledged with the donor’s name. The following list reflects the donor status for each statue along with the years that governor served in office and the year the statue was erected or is planned to be unveiled, if established. 1st Governor Arthur Mellette, 1889-1893 – fully funded; unveiled in 2012 2nd Governor Charles Sheldon, 1893-1897 – donors needed 3rd Governor Andrew Lee, 1897-1901 – donors needed 4th Governor Charles Herreid, 1901-1905 – donors needed; scheduled for 2015 Harlan Bushfield - 16th Governor of South Dakota 5th Governor Samuel Elrod, 1905-1907 – donors needed A vision to create a lasting legacy of South Dakota’s governors. 2014 Trail of Governors Annual Report 6th Governor Coe Crawford, 1907-1909 – donors needed 7th Governor Robert Vessey, 1909-1913 – fully funded; unveiled in 2014 8th Governor Frank Byrne, 1913-1917 – donors needed 9th Governor Peter Norbeck, 1917-1921 – fully funded; unveiled in 2014 10th Governor William McMaster, 1921-1925 – donors needed 11th Governor Carl Gunderson, 1925-1927 – donors needed; scheduled for 2016 12th Governor William Bulow, 1927-1931 – donors needed 13th Governor Warren Green, 1931-1933 – donors needed 14th Governor Tom Berry, 1933-1937 – donors needed 15th Governor Leslie Jensen, 1937-1939 – donors needed 16th Governor Harlan Bushfield, 1939-1943 – fully funded; unveiled in 2012 17th Governor Merrill Sharpe, 1943-1947 – donors needed 18th Governor George T.

    “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.

    Copyright © 1973 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Agrarian Radicals: The United Farmers League of South Dakota ALLAN MATHEWS Agricultural recessions have caused distress on several occasions among farmers in South Dakota and have given rise to protest movements that sounded the call for economic justice. The Peoples party, the Nonpartisan League, and the Farmer- Labor party were among these movements. In the 1890s South Dakotans joined the Peoples party and helped elect Populist- Democrat Governor Andrew E. Lee for two terms.* Just prior to World War I fanners joined the reform-minded Nonpartisan League in the search for relief and supported the candidates of the league. This support diminished when Progressive Republi- can Governor Peter Norbeck adopted many of the programs of the league as his own. In the mid-1920s farmers formed the Farmer-Labor party, and soon other reform movements followed. ^ The threat of foreclosure was the main reason for unrest in the 1920s. Farmers had earlier plunged into debt to enlarge their farms as heavy rains produced bumper crops and world markets sustained high prices. Suddenly, about 1924 rains 1. Alan L.

  • 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.

  • Closing Time: a Twenty-Five-Year Retrospective on the Life and Death
    Copyright © 2009 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. MARSHALL DAMGAARD Closing Time A Twenty-five-Year Retrospective on the Life and Death of the University of South Dakota at Springfield Twenty-five years ago, South Dakota Governor William J. Janklow and the state legislature closed the University of South Dakota at Spring- field and converted it into a minimum-security prison. The closing— contested bitterly in the capitol, the courts, and public meeting halls— climaxed almost a century of continuing debates over the existence of the school.1 The community of Springfield had built much of its identity and economy around the school, and residents mourned the loss. Today, the former campus is the site of Mike Durfee State Prison, but memories of the University of South Dakota at Springfield and the fight to keep it alive remain vivid. To visitors, Springfield seems an unlikely place for controversy. The little town is tucked between the softly undulating tallgrass prairie and the slowly rolling Missouri River. Until the mid-nineteenth cen- tury, the area was the domain of the Yankton Sioux Indians, who, un- der their legendary leader Strike-the-Ree, ceded about 14 million acres between the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers with the Treaty of 1858. That treaty, followed closely by the Homestead Act of 1862, triggered a tor- rent of European immigrants—Czechs, Dutch, English, Germans, Ger- mans from Russia (including Hutterites and Mennonites), Russians, Swedes, Norwegians, Poles, Irish, and Austrians—who settled in what became Bon Homme County, Dakota Territory. The newcomers also included many cold-hardy settlers from Canada, plus empire-building Yankees from New England, who leapfrogged through Ohio, Indiana, 1.

  • 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.

  • 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.
