For the rest, it may be said that they consist of sketches which appeared originally in Kansas newspapers, and of addresses delivered to Kansas audiences. These are presented, without regard to lapse of time, in the form in which they received the honor of being copied in Kansas newspapers, and the kindly mention, of Kansas people. They are selected from a mass of writings, the labor of nearly twenty years, in which there has scarcely been a day when the writer has not said some word for Kansas, the land of the sunflower and the breeze. To the always-lenient judgment of the Kansas public they are again committed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Early Kansas As I sit by the western window and the brief winter afternoon draws toward its close, my mind turns back to dear old Waverley. Outside the wind is rising and the waning day shows gray and chill, but far away I see visions of a fair, deep blue sky, gemmed with fleecy floating clouds. Instead of deep snows and ice bound streams, are wide expanses of green fields, velvet carpeted, and sown thickly with johnny-jump-ups and dainty strawberry blossoms. Away over the far wooded hills, distance lends enchantment to the purplish haze that rests forever above the winding river; while around all is spread the fairest country that ever gladdened the eyes and hearts of men, - the beautiful prairies of Kansas. Among the many towns and embryo cities that sprang up as it were by magic on the opening of the territory in eighteen fifty-five, was my own dear town of Waverley. This ambitious little county seat was laid out in true generous Western fashion over a square mile or so of charming hill and dale, its modest frame houses, many of them built of the native black walnut, separated by wide stretches of greenest verdure. Here and there the streets led over picturesque wooden bridges, for from the hilly eastern border to the noble plateau that formed the western boundary, there was a succession of hills and hollows, varied by deep, winding ravines, each of which prisoned a brawling, pigmy torrent during the winter thaws and the spring rains. Crowning the brow of the eastern hill, was the Woodson Hotel, a many windowed frame building of two stories, looking south. In front was a wide veranda from whose pleasant shelter the wayfarer could overlook the little city and the broad wagon road with its traffic and bustle, varied now and then by slow moving ox teams, or long lines of canvas covered wagons of the countless home seekers. These wagons were filled with furniture and bedding, weary women and sunburnt children. Sometimes a stove pipe protruded through an opening in the canvas telling of an attempt at warmth and comfort when the prairie winds blew cold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas Bill Mr. Benjamin. Mr. President, after the very able and eloquent discourse of the Senator from Missouri, [Mr. Polk, ] if I had regard simply to my own reputation in giving utterance to the thoughts which I have conceived upon the subject now before us, I should better consult its interests by seeking another occasion for addressing the Senate; but I am admonished by the increasing impatience of the Senate, by the desire, not only in this Chamber, but in the public at large, to arrive at an early vote on this subject, that all personal considerations must be made to give way, and that each of us must do his duty as promptly as he can. Mr. President, the issue to which the American people have been looking forward for some years past, with almost instinctive apprehension, is now before us. The urgent, the imperative necessity for its decision is upon us. Again is a slaveholding State demanding admission into the Union, and again is that admission opposed by a large majority of the Senators and Representatives of the non-slaveholding States of the Confederacy. I am aware that every effort is being made to conceal the true motive for this hostility. Pretexts about the irregularity of the territorial government, charges of fraud and deception, vehement asseverations of a disregard of the popular will in the formation of the State constitution - every pretext, every cause, every motive. that the ingenuity of their ablest and most practiced debaters can suggest, have been brought forward as the grounds of this hostility. But, sir, as the discussion has progressed, as the excitement of debate has overcome the cold teachings of prudence, various Senators have made admissions; the truth, which had been concealed behind a cloud, has become apparent to us all, and it is now boldly avowed that Kansas shall never be admitted as a slaveholding State into the Confederacy, not even, to use the words of the Senator from Maine, [Mr. Fessenden, ] if the whole people of the Territory should establish a constitution recognising that institution. Opinions thus maturely formed, thus openly avowed, are not to be affected by any argument that I can hope to offer.

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 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.
