...Readers of the many words written about the President's vacation at Custer Park might, until last week, have almost concluded that South Dakota sent only one Senator to the U. S. Senate. Thousands of U. S. citizens who previously had hardly heard of Senator Peter Norbeck found his name an almost daily feature in South Dakota despatches.

Ruefully, because the house where James McGrath lived used to be known as "Minniesland" and the land around it as Audubon Park. In "Minniesland" lived John James Audubon (1780-1851), famed wanderer of the trackless American wilderness, hirsute ornithologist and painter extraordinary of wild life.
