Tales of Old Dakota

The librarian from school got Tales of Old Dakota for me from the Aberdeen School Library and I have spent a week trying to get through it. As I said before, I am not much for history. This book begins with stories of the author searching for places he has heard about. He gives explanations about his searches but does not find much. As the book goes on, he makes more discoveries. I read closely as not to miss the Threadgold name and got to it tonight on page 159. One of the stories was about Storla. I can remember going to visit Grandpa Scott at the nursing home there. That nursing home closed a few years ago. I still have a couple of stories to read and will finish it if only to say I read it. It talks about Jesse and Frank James. At one time they had a hideout just south of LaBolt. I would recommend this book only to those who are really into early South Dakota history.
