Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Kansas Was Young The stories contained in this book have been written at Odd times and published in the Daily Capital of Topeka, Kansas. They were continued because the readers of the Capital seemed to enjoy them and asked for more. I received a good many requests that they be put into book form and through the kindness Of The Macmillan Company this has been done. The stories present, I think, some pictures of frontier life and frontier characters not found in any other book. I hope the readers of the book will enjoy reading the stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. If they do I will be more than satisfied.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cuddy's Baby: A Story of Kansas Folks "There's a breathless hush in the Close tonight - Ten to make and the match to win - A bumping pitch and a blinding light, An hour to play and the last man in. And it is not for the sake of a ribboned coat, Or the selfish hope of a season's fame, But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote - 'Play up! play up! and play the game!" Henry Newbolt. "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U-o-o-o!" The long vibrant volume of voices rolled out over the prairie, dying away in a diffusion of atoms of sound with atoms of silence. "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U-o-o-o!" Again and again it rose increasingly with the swelling waves of air and pulsed out softly into that weird cadence that carries "the lost chord" in its ebbing tones. The November day was clear and still. The winds of heaven moved gently, and the landscape lay under the benediction of quietness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas in Eighteen Fifty-Eight: Being Chiefly a History of the Recent Troubles in the Territory The pages which follow are simply a record of events occurring in the experience of one who has been the eye and ear witness of the greater part of the incidents nar rated in this book. My object in writing it was two-fold. I felt it a duty I owed the struggling freemen of Kansas, to disabuse as much as possible the public mind of its many erroneous impressions regarding the recent difficulties in Kansas, commonly known as the Fort Scott Difficulties and I also wished to preserve the prominent events relating thereto, in the hope that they might be of some assistance to the future historian of Kansas, in giving a permanence to its history and a deathless fame to the noble champions of freedom on its soil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Issue: A Book of Kansas Stories It was near the close of a long session - a session which had lasted a winter and a spring and a summer, and threatened to push itself into the first days of autumn, when Wharton, the Western member, who had been in the house five terms, concluded to pack his valise and go home. The campaign was growing warm. Nearly all of the county conventions had been held, and a majority of the delegates elected were instructed for him, which insured his renomination if the three remaining counties in the district did not go solidly against him. He had laid his plans mechanically for a renomination, and if he had stopped to ask himself whether or not he really wanted to come back to congress, he would probably have said no. He was tired, but he did not know why. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Does the senator mean to say that I made any allusion to him at all? Mr. Harlan. I meant to say that the question of the honorable senator from South Carolina was not answered by any one of these honorable senators. Mr. Cass. Allow me to say one word to the gentleman. He assumes that a question. Was put which was not answered. Why, sir, you have no right to require every man to get up here and answer every question put in that way. If a senator, in the course of his remarks, says that a fact is not so, am I bound to contradict it? You may allude to what a senator himself says, but you can draw no inference from his failure to notice or answer a. Question that is not addressed to him there is no ethics in that. Mr. Butler. I do not intend to detain the Senate by making any reply to the senator from Iowa - very far from it but I do not wish the senator from Iowa to make an issue for me which he cannot understand. Mr. Harlan. Will the honorable senator sta'te his remark again. Mr. Butler.

Download or read book A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by William Elsey Connelley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, Vol. 1 This is an attempt to commence at the beginning and continue to the end in writing a history of Kansas. There has never before been an effort to elaborate the pre-Territorial events in the history of the State. The reaction on Kansas of the political conditions developed in Missouri up to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act has never before been discussed in the annals of Kansas. A careful study of events will show that the destiny of Kansas was closely bound up with the political developments in Missouri for a period of nearly half a century. Many of the transactions of early times are here first brought into their proper relations in a narrative history of Kansas. Some of these are the accounts of Quivira, of Louisiana, of the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails, of the Overland commerce, of the unique Indian occupancy and the extinguishment of the primal title to the soil, of the Missouri Compromise and its repeal, and of the Provisional Government of Nebraska Territory. There are others which will reveal themselves to the student in even a cursory review. While most of these subjects have been in a way touched upon by writers - and a few of them in an exhaustive manner - they have not been before built into the structure of Kansas history. One of the features of this work which will be hailed with satisfaction by students will be found in the Magoffin Papers. The history of Doniphan's Expedition, and, consequently, that of New Mexico, have not heretofore been capable of a full elaboration. These papers complete the record and render the explanation of the conquest of New Mexico through Kansas simple and satisfactory. They afford new light on the War with Mexico. These invaluable documents were secured from the War Department in May, 1910, after years of persistent, and, often, discouraging effort by this author - no other student having been to that time able to obtain copies of them. So far as now known, the copies herein published are the sole and only copies ever made. In the matter of Coronado, while there are no end to the books on that subject, some of them exhaustive in character, it is maintained that this is the first attempt to make any dispassionate effort to deter mine the location of Quivira. This subject has not before been considered to any appreciable extent in an unprejudiced way with the Indian occupancy of Kansas of that time. The territorial possessions of the Caddoan linguistic family of North American Indians have not before had proper attention from students. This is the key to the Coronado problem. The Kansas Indians have heretofore been credited in the time of Coronado, with too great an area of what is now Kansas. In the Coronado era they possessed but an insignificant portion of the State. Their importance in this relation has always been exaggerated. Their connection with the plains country at that time was comparatively unimportant. But the Kansas Indians gave their name to our principal river; and, through it, they gave us the name of our State.
