the civil war and the days Immediate
ly following. The identification of
the author with Dakota makes his
work of special interest.
THE Conquest" by Eva Emery Dye,
is for two reasons ours 1t has much
to do with primitive Dakota affairs
and the author is a former resident,
having been the wife Of Professor En-
cry, of Madison normal.
The Westerners," by Stewart Ed
ward White, is = story of the Black
Hills, though Mr.. White was never
more than a temporary resident of the
state.
Paul Traver's Adventures" was
written by Sam T. Glover, while a
resident of Sioux Falls, but not pub
lished until a long time after the au-
thor left the state. 1t does not have
much to do with South Dakota mat
tiers.
"Tonda," by Warren K. Morehead,
is a story of the Sioux of South Da-
kota and incidentally of the white
people who live among them.
There are perhaps others of this
class as we'll as their ~distinctively
South Dakota productions, but this is
the complete list which has been gath
cred in the state library.

mend them as an excellent kidney
