Somewhat counterintuitively, in 1922, our grandfather, together with his son and brother-in-law, became majority shareholders in Security State Bank of Dante, South Dakota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLess than a year later, our grandfather and his son were dead, and the estates they had worked so hard to build disappeared bit by bit under the weight of debt and a deteriorating rural economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur grandfather's story, like so many it mirrors, is the forgotten story of the Northern Plains and how that story figured into the severe economic and political crisis of postbellum America.
