Dakota are a very sacred area as a whole. In the black hills, i believe at one time or another, there is a piece of the rest of the world here somewhere. We are in the epicenter of sometimes testy relations between native and nonnative inhabitants. Stretching about 110 miles long and 70 miles wide, the black hills of south dakota rise up from the plains just to the west of rapid city. The black hills are very important to the native american members. They refer to it as the heart. The pine trees and the elevation we have thats around all this. Speaking of where rapid city is that, we are positioned at the gateway to the black hills. It is kind of how we have always billed ourselves, even back to the earliest founders of rapid city.

The interview is from the Richard Nixon president ial Library Oral History collection and was conducted by Timothy Naftali in 2008. When i ran in the fifth Congressional District mississippi, 8 of the people identified as republican. But if you study the internals, the majority of them were republican. I also knew they were going to vote for Richard Nixon by overwhelming numbers. I figured well over 80 , which is what happened. I was comfortable with them on an individual basis. I was comfortable with them philosophically. I thought a republican could win in mississippi. A lot of people did not think so. I remember when i called some friends and supporters they basically had said you will not be able to win. But events worked out. I was 31 years old. Just turned 32. As time went on, i could sense a change in attitude of the people. You are young, republican, what is this . By the end, they were saying i like what you are saying. You will be part of the nixon team. And i won by comforta
