Overview

South Dakota' s unique blend of ethnic cultures, varied landscapes, and small, largely agrarian population have made for fascinating politics. This fourth volume of The Plains Political Tradition offers ten essays on diverse aspects of the region's political history, from nonindigenous settlement patterns to campaign strategies to the shaping of state budgets. Employing a broad definition of political culture, editors Jon k. Lauck and Paula M. Nelson present a wide variety of eyewitness as well as scholarly perspectives in this anthology, all of which contribute to a better understanding of South Dakota's singular historical experience.
