On the heels of his recent book: South Dakota’s Cowboy Governor Tom Berry, Paul Higbee takes us into the life of one of South Dakota’s icons. At 2:00 pm this Saturday, November 18th, the historic AME Allen Chapel will host Mr. Higbee as he gives his first East River presentation on one of South Dakota’s true rarities, a West River, Democrat Governor.  Gov. Berry rode in President Teddy Roosevelt’s cattle roundup and commanded the attention of President Franklin Roosevelt at White House meetings. Berry faced bitter political rivalries and weather that threatened to blow South Dakotans off their land, but he is remembered for his humorous wit throughout.
