First Person: Legendary South Dakota Sports Stories by Mike Henriksen

This book tells of some of the most talented and unique athletes and sports personalities in South Dakota history, including SDSU and Brookings area connections.

"It's true. Every person has a story. My job is to draw that story out of them and then share it with the public. Over the course of several years it has been my pleasure to visit with a myriad of coaches, athletes, officials, media people and more. Some have a very high profile in the state. Some are generally unknown. All of them have contributed a piece to the mosaic that is South Dakota sports."
