Outlaw Dakota

Wayne Fanebust talked about his book Outlaw Dakota, in which he tells the story of Judge Shannon, the man sent by President Grant to tame the frontier and help form a young United States. During the era of the American Frontier, South Dakota was a lawless land where criminals ran unchecked and any justice came in the form of mob lynchings.
