Before Florida was "The Sunshine State", South Dakota claimed the nickname. We offer here Vol. VI, No. 5 of an illustrated periodical dedicated to marketing South Dakota as "The Sunshine State". Opportunities for outdoor recreation are prominently featured, and the publication makes sure to include plenty of photographs of the naturally beautiful and rugged surroundings.

There are two articles detailing local Native American history, including one about Sacagawea and another titled "Some Facts on the Indians". Includes full-page advertisement for the "Days of '76", a Gold Rush-theme festival in Deadwood described as "A Historical Reproduction of Life as it Really was .
