Book Description

Excerpt from A Book of Dakota Rhymes The Rhymes comprising this little book have been gleaned from the farms and towns of South Dakota. New as is this state, there is a higher life in the breasts of even those who, far Zremoved from the great centres of culture and the blessings of an older and more highly developed region, brave the hardships of pio neer life These verses are an expression of that higher life that feels something deeper in nature and in the simple and often hard rela tions and conditions of western life. In making this collection - which has been possible only with the generous co-operation of the con tributors - and sending it out in book-form, the compilers feel that they are helping to preserve and make known, in a greater measure, a few samples of the literary fruit of this common wealth.
