- Abstract:
The article explores the fall of LeBeau, South Dakota, a town established by French fur trader Antoine LeBeau that boomed after the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway arrived in 1907. Topics discussed include forecasts that the town would be among the most economically successful cities in the U.S., the life and death of David "Dode" MacKenzie as manager of the town's Matador Ranch and the misfortunes of the city after MacKenzie's death.
