On the night of March 1, 1904, a heavy snow began to fall and it continued all of March 2, giving New Rockford more snow than it had had all winter. The storm stopped all trains that day, and on the morning of March 3, a snow plow came up from Jamestown to clear the tracks.

On March 3, Chris Jensen returned from Iowa,...

On the final day of vacation in the Black Hills, I knew it was possible. Having landed my first brook trout, along with many more, and having discovered swarms of willing and readily-biting large rainbow trout in the same lake-and-stream complex near our cabin over the week; and having staked out a small tributary of Spearfish Creek with browns seemingly tucked under every bank and fallen log, all three targets were in sight. Sure, I’d caught them all over the week we had spent under perfect c...
