Ohio Editor Recalls Early Dakota Days Near Huron
Arthur Towne, editor of the Geauga Republican Record in Chardon Ohio, writes a series recalling pioneer days around Huron and Crandon township in South Dakota. He recalls 1881 arrival, prairie sunsets, Dust Bowl hardships, and the drift west as settlers moved on, with memories of Crandon, Hitchcock, and the old band, and reflects on the Great Rush era and family journeys from Spink County.
