Fine reproduction of a panoramic map of Flandreau, South Dakota in 1883.  Originally settled in 1857; the first settlement was abandoned within one year, due to tensions with the Yankton Sioux tribe.  Named for U. S. Indian Agent, Charles E. Flandrau, the town was re-settled in 1869 by twenty-five "Christianized" Sioux families from the Santee reservation.  Flandreau was named the county seat of Moody County after the county was reorganized in 1873. There are two inset illustrations on the map; one is of F. W. Pettigrew's residence and the other is a detailed illustration of buildings along the South Side of Second Avenue.  Library of Congress stamp appears on lower right, dated September 7, 1883. This beautiful map provides a look at the beginnings of the city. Complete reference list below.    Dimensions: 36" x 22.5"   Item #1W-SD-FL-1883   Shipping Weight: 2 lbs.   PRICE: $39.95
