South Dakota Pioneer History and Promise in Roberts County
South Dakota, Roberts County. The state’s early growth from 1889 to today is traced through hardy Scandinavian and other settlers who faced fires, floods, droughts and grasshoppers. Despite hardships, pioneers built homes, prospered, and chose a future of opportunity as climate and land offer health and wealth. Ivar Stadstad’s circular extols invigorating climate and wealth from 0 to 1,000 feet elevation, inviting homeseekers to seek health and riches in the state.
