To revise and expand Neva Harding's autobiography I Recall Pioneer Days in South Dakota, including maps, photos, a genealogy and her additional comments upon her 104 years of experiences, and relating her narrative to the historical events of pioneers. Distilled from taped interviews and local research, the manuscript will provide a portrait of an ordinary woman's experiences as a participant in the making of a state and a community. The manuscript will include reprints of early pictures.
