Historical Atlas of South Dakota,
1904, have completed their work
and it is being distributed. The
maps and illustrations are all that
were expected, but the local histor-
ical matter is evidently the product
of the editor Of the work rather
than of the local contributors to
whom it is credited. For exam
pie, the historical contribution for
this county, the manuscript of
which we say after its preparation
for the publishers, contained about
5000 words, and gave sketch Of
the settlement and development of
the county with much detail, but
that published in the atlas seems
to be entirely different and limited
to 1000 words. The character of
the Bon Homme County historical
sketch seems to be similar to that
of the rest of the counties.
