How is this for an early defense of Dakota weather:
"People who have come here to die of bronchitis and consumption have lived to become glowing embodiments of sound strength, with throats like firemen's trumpets and lungs like blacksmith's bellows . . . . The enfeebled parson from down East, whose wheezy tones, scarce suffice to stir the flies that crawl over the bald pates of his dozing elders and deacons, is soon able, not only to keep his hearers awake, but almost to arouse, as with a forty-donkey-power bugle blast, the sheeted sleepers in the church yard . . . ."
This was written by Pat Donan in 1883.
This is Bicentennial Story No. 2, prepared by Fr. Louis Pfaller for the Stark County Historical Society.
