Timeline of South Dakota - I would love project members' input on this article. In particular, it draws significantly on Doane Robinson's (public domain) text. Some of his language is no longer in use (e.g., "half bloods") and I'm faced with a dilemma of whether to keep the State Historian's language in quotations or modernize it or change nothing.
