Ben Thompson releases “Mobridge in History: Lewis and Clark, to Sitting Bull to the Mobridge State Bank”


PeopleBy Travis Svihovec

Former Mobridge resident Ben Thompson has written a book titled “Mobridge in History: Lewis and Clark, to Sitting Bull to the Mobridge State Bank.”

The book includes 19 chapters on subjects including the Louisiana Purchase and the Corps of Discovery, the fur trade and the area’s original inhabitants, early Mobridge, stories from Thompson’s family history, and the Mobridge State Bank project. Thompson said in the prologue that he hopes to inform the people of northwestern South Dakota of the history they possess and how the events of the past have shaped the area, and to tell the story of the historic importance of the Mobridge State Bank and recognize its uniqueness.

The book is available at Homespun and will also be sold at Klein Museum in the spring.
