Before settlers first arrived in the 1800s; Clinton County rested full of promise along the western edge of the Mississippi River. In the years that have passed; it has become an area of great commercial; agricultural; and industrial accomplishments. From the initial settlement of Lyons; DeWitt; and Camanche; where axe and oxen were prevalent on the scene; to the modern communities that are now home to astronauts and artisans; this book illustrates the incredible growth that has occurred over nearly two centuries. Through over 200 historical photographs; the Clinton County Historical Society documents how Clinton County has become a national treasure of culture and character.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. An engaging and fascinating study in Aberdeen. SD. historyBy B. Michelle KalehzanAs a native of Aberdeen. South Dakota. I have found this collection of picture postcards fascinating and memorable. For a little town of 25.000 in the middle of the prairie. the postcards remind us that this was once the center of countless homesteaders dreams. Many of these old buildings still exist in Aberdeen. and it is hoped that a celebration of the citys history as contained in this book will remind city leaders to preserve the history of Aberdeen. Looking at the photos will bring back old memories and maybe even make you homesick. I highly recommend it indeed!
