Pie first…..it was very lonely on the Dakota territory plains and the Dell family made a life herding cattle on the sweeping grassy landscape.-Thanks to a young, healthy Elizabeth (Halweg) Dell, who thankfully had a knack for cooking. She prepared hearty meals that fed her family and friends from the Lakota tribe that included the famed Sitting Bull. She and her husband welcomed them to their table but surprisingly the guests loved to eat dessert before the entree.
Pie first is a look back at a time when the hardiest survived. Sharon Hudgins, historian and author, delves into her family history and uncovers the documented life of the Dells in the 1890s last frontier.
