Fourth of July Sale!
Now until the end of July, the South Dakota Historical Society Press will be featuring two of their exciting American tales that highlight the depth and pride of South Dakota throughout America’s 250 years.
In Glorious Fourth of July and Other Stories from the Plains, Mary Gibson Sprague recounts tales from her mother’s childhood and pairs them with unique “memory paintings.” Childlike wonder, enthusiasm, and the life of Catherine Rademacher Gibson come alive as Sprague explores the tales of early South Dakotan migratory families creating the American Dream.
In the press’s first graphic novel, the life and legend of Captain Joe Foss are expertly retold in Hector Curriel’s Joe Foss, Fighter Pilot: American Ace. From his early fascination with flight and Charles Lindbergh to his daredevil efforts in Guadalcanal, Foss’s heroism consumes the pages as he takes on the title of America’s Number One Ace. Curriel draws readers into this American hero’s triumphs and trials, leaving them with a feeling of South Dakota pride and a glimpse into one of America’s hardest battles over the last 250 years.
Celebrate America with us!
