Immerse yourself in the architectural splendor and rich cultural heritage of South Dakota State Capitol: PIERRE. In this striking visual journey, photographer and journalist Jane Moorman captures the essence of South Dakota's history, artistry, and identity through the lens of its grand capitol building.

With its copper dome, neo-classical design, and opulent details like Italian terrazzo floors and Victorian stained glass, the Capitol is a tribute to the people and values of the state. The book highlights notable features such as the Trail of Governors-life-sized bronze statues honoring past leaders-the rotunda's elegant murals and sculptures, and the symbolic tribal flag display celebrating the unity between Native American nations and the state government.

From its origins in the Dakota Territory to its present-day legacy, this book showcases a building that is both a functional seat of power and a masterpiece of public art and architecture. Whether you're passionate about American history, civic design, or regional culture, this book offers an intimate look at one of the Midwest's most majestic landmarks.
