This manual was designed as part of a visual resource kit focusing on the history and culture of late 19th century Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Ten topics are addressed: (1) "Fort Dakota"; (2) "Streets of Sioux Falls"; (3) "Shops"; (4) "Businesses"; (5) "Public Schools"; (6) "Quarrying"; (7) "Harvesting"; (8) "Transportation"; (9) "Cataract Hotel"; and (10) "Recreation." Each topic includes a brief history and/or background information. Questions for student discussion require analysis of photographic images provided in the kit. Suggested activities are related to the topics and may be adapted for use independently of the photographic resources. A 4-item bibliography concludes the manual. (MM)
