Abstract

Special events in the history of a state have customarily stimulated an unusual variety of commemorative writings. Such is the case with the books under review, both of which grew out of South Dakota's centennial in 1989. Moreover, both books deal with one theme-leadership. One concentrates on political leadership while the other includes a broader representation.
