De Smet South Dakota
In this episode of Cheap Family Travel ( Nick Regan, Maggie, and Kate visited the small town of De Smet, home to the famous author, Laura Ingalls Wilder. De Smet, South Dakota, is a fun, family-oriented town that gives visitors the opportunity to step back in time, as the town still looks how it did a generation ago, when Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family lived in The Little Town on the Prairie, on On the Shores of Silver Lake, and during, The Long Winter. Fans of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books will enjoy a tour of the town that includes the DeSmet School, the Surveyor's House, the house the Pa built for the Ingalls family, and the cemetery where most of the Ingalls are buried. A must-see in De Smet is the Ingalls Homestead, where guests can walk through a replica sod house and shanty, a barn, a schoolhouse, and can participate in time-period activities like pumping water, washing clothes, making ropes and corn dolls, and playing button buzzers, the string game that Laura and her friends played. After a ride in a horse drawn wagon, visitors attend a Pageant with local actors depicting Laura's time in De Smet. Cheap Family Travel had a great visit in De Smet. If you are a fan of Laura's books or the TV series, De Smet is the place for you.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
South Dakota ( (listen)) is a U.S. state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is named after the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Native American tribes, who compose a large portion of the population and historically dominated the territory. South Dakota is the seventeenth largest by area, but the fifth smallest by population and the 5th least densely populated of the 50 United States. As the southern part of the former Dakota Territory, South Dakota became a state on November 2, 1889, simultaneously with North Dakota. Pierre is the state capital and Sioux Falls, with a population of about 183,200, is South Dakota's largest city.
South Dakota is bordered by the states of North Dakota (to the north), Minnesota (to the east), Iowa (to the southeast), Nebraska (to the south), Wyoming (to the west), and Montana (to the northwest). The state is bisected by the Missouri River, dividing South Dakota into two geographically and socially distinct halves, known to residents as East River and West River.Eastern South Dakota is home to most of the state's population, and the area's fertile soil is used to grow a variety of crops. West of the Missouri, ranching is the predominant agricultural activity, and the economy is more dependent on tourism and defense spending. Most of the Native American reservations are in West River. The Black Hills, a group of low pine-covered mountains sacred to the Sioux, are in the southwest part of the state. Mount Rushmore, a major tourist destination, is there. South Dakota has a temperate continental climate, with four distinct seasons and precipitation ranging from moderate in the east to semi-arid in the west. The state's ecology features species typical of a North American grassland biome.
Humans have inhabited the area for several millennia, with the Sioux becoming dominant by the early 19th century. In the late 19th century, European-American settlement intensified after a gold rush in the Black Hills and the construction of railroads from the east. Encroaching miners and settlers triggered a number of Indian wars, ending with the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. Key events in the 20th century included the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, increased federal spending during the 1940s and 1950s for agriculture and defense, and an industrialization of agriculture that has reduced family farming.
While several Democratic senators have represented South Dakota for multiple terms at the federal level, the state government is largely controlled by the Republican Party, whose nominees have carried South Dakota in each of the last 13 presidential elections. Historically dominated by an agricultural economy and a rural lifestyle, South Dakota has recently sought to diversify its economy in areas to attract and retain residents. South Dakota's history and rural character still strongly influence the state's culture.
By The Shores Of Silver Lake: Literary Overview (Part 4)
In her last lecture on 'By the Shores of Silver Lake,' Pamela explores other historical underpinnings and discusses the major themes of the novel.
