A Flandreau history picture book has been printed in advance of the city’s 150th birthday next summer and is for sale at various city locations.
“Flandreau Images of the Past, Vol. 1” was put together by Dale A. Johnson, who researched and edited the book.
“I love it. I enjoy the challenge, I guess,” Johnson said about the process of putting together the book with photos and research mostly coming from the museum records, old newspapers and Johnson’s research-oriented mind. “I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while. I actually plan on doing three books,” he said.
Chapters are broken into community, cultural values, health, serving, weather, parks and recreation and social life.
Johnson already has 250 photos chosen for the second book, which he would like to have finished by Christmas. He has some of the research yet to do. The first book took less than three months to put together. His third book will be text with stories from Flandreau.
