Welcome to Dakota Rivalry and a Mistaken Governor
A humorous early Dakota tale recalls Abraham Lincoln naming Dr. William Jayne as first territorial governor and Vermilion’s grand banquet. A misidentified guest, G. B. Bigelow, was treated as the governor yet Yankton soon became capital. Vermilion kept the joke, while Yankton secured the status. Governor Jayne’s tour and the playful mix up highlight the era’s rough town rivalry and humor. The piece ends noting Yankton as both temporary and permanent capital of Dakota Territory.
