Abstract
I SEND you to-day a photograph of a genuine Dakotah cyclone, or, rather, tornado, which was taken by F. N. Robinson, Howard, Miner County, D.T., August 28,1884. The storm passed twenty-two miles west of the city. It was first noticed at 4 o'clock p.m., moving in a south easterly direction, remaining in sight over two hours; killing several people, and destroying all property in its course. I believe it to be unique as a portrait of this class of storms, and I have thought you might care to reproduce it for NATURE.
