This interview is from SDPB's daily public-affairs show, In the Moment, hosted by Lori Walsh.

Some of South Dakota’s first permanent white settlements were established along the Missouri River after the Yankton Sioux ceded the land to the U.S. Government in 1858. On today’s “Images of the Past,” we’ll take a look at the early history of Bon Homme county, which today includes the towns Tyndall, Tabor, Scotland and Springfield.

Robert Foley, Secretary/Treasurer of the Bon Homme Heritage Association joins us by phone.
