Is there a literary renaissance under way in South Dakota?

My latest in the Pierre Capital Journal. A snippet:

John Miller is a retired professor of History at South Dakota State University. Judging from his work ethic, Miller hasn’t figured out yet that he’s retired. A passion for Midwestern history in general, and South Dakota history in specific, keeps him researching and writing. His latest efforts deserve our attention. Miller asks whether a literary renaissance is occurring in South Dakota.

Miller has been kind enough to send me a preliminary draft of his work and given me permission to write about his tentative conclusions in these pages.
