Back cover text: City of Hustle: A Sioux Falls Anthology A part of Belt's City Anthology Series, a unique take on the South Dakota town residents call "the Best Little City in America." In 1992, Money magazine named Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the best place to live in the United States. This rich anthology offers an inside look at the city through the eyes of both longtime residents and recent transplants. In over forty-five essays, you'll hear stories about the city's past, including the region's legacy of violence against Native Americans and Sioux Falls's status as a "divorce destination" in the late 1800s. But you'll also discover the ways the city's savvy planning and entrepreneurial gumption have helped it navigate
twenty-first-century challenges. It's an insider's perspective on what's really going on in so-called "flyover country," and it shows why that name overlooks so much of the true
richness that makes up life there every day. PaTrIcK Hicks is the author of The Commandant of Lubizec, In the Shadow of Dora, Adoptable, and The Collector of Names, among others.
