Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Colorado and the Santa Fe Trail It would have been proper to say more about the burning Indian question but a suitable disquisition thereon would have not only outrun the limits of the book, but cast a sombre tinge over it. It is a wonder that people who profess to regulate their individual lives on the principle of there being a certain and inexorable retribution for wickedness, will not comprehend that they share the responsibility of their country for its shameful, infamous wrong-doing in this regard. Much can be said in j ustification of the residents of the West in their hatred of the Indian, and the evil lies far back of them. The United States are clearly convicted of the acts of cruelty, perfidy, and dishonour which have had their logical sequence in the smoke and flame of burning houses, and the shrieks of murdered women and children, which have gone up, year after year, on the frontier. Individuals who are guilty of such crimes are warned to expect a judgment on them. If ever an aggregation of individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Along the Old Trail: A History of the Old and a Story of the New Santa Fe Trail This great territory, however, was destined' soon to assume an important role in the drama of western life. The trade with Mex ico, though at first of little importance, was recognized as a very profitable field of commercial enterprise and a trade route was soon established over these vast prairies which, as a scene of never-ceas ing warfare, probably has no equal among the trade route of the world. Starting from the frontier settlements in western Missouri, this great vein of commerce wound its way through the hilly country in the eastern part of what is now Kansas, and, emerging on the gently rolling prairies to the westward, entered the broad and fertile valley of the Arkansas River near the present location of Hutchinson, Kan sas.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Santa Fe Trail: The Story of a Great Highway At the commencement of the commerce of the prai ries, in the early portion of the century, the Old Trail was the arena of almost constant sanguinary struggles between the wily nomads of the desert and the hardy white pioneers, whose eventful lives made the civilization of the vast interior region of our continent possible. Their daring compelled its development, which has resulted in the genesis of great states and large cities. Their hard ships gave birth to the American homestead; their deter mined will was the factor of possible achievements, the most remarkable and important of modern times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Delahoydes: Boy Life on the Old Santa Fe Trail The story of the Delahoyde Boys is not pure fiction, as is the general juvenile tale of the frontier. The characters are all drawn from life: in some instances the names only are fictitious. The localities are true in their geographical description, and the incidents of the plot are real experiences. In its natural history, the author, who has always been a close observer, has supplemented his own knowledge of the habits and characteristics of the animals, birds and fishes referred to, by a careful study of eminent authorities on the subject, and it is believed that the descriptions in this book are correct. The incidents in the lives of the famous men who figure in the story are true to history, and are not creations of the authors brain. In these instances real names are given, and events are recorded which are based upon actual occurrences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What I Saw on the Old Santa Fe Trail: A Condensed Story of Frontier Life Half a Century Ago What I have written in this series of articles is the plain truth. I doubt if a man could be found living today who crossed the plains on the old Santa Fe road in as early day as I. Some of the facts recorded here have never been recorded in any history of Kansas or any account of the old road. There can never again be a repetition of the scenes. There will never again be great caravans of prairie schooners slowly wending their way across the great American desert. The old Santa Fe road is almost obliterated. Cities and towns have sprung up. Dwellings, school houses and churches decorate the prairie. Horace Greely crossed the plains six years later than I. In his comments he said: There were more buffalo in sight than there are cattle in Illinois. So I offer no other reason for this personal history of pioneer days.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Marking of the Santa Fe Trail: By the Daughters of the American Revolution in Kansas and the State of Kansas When the marking of the old Santa Fe Trail was first suggested to the Daughters at the State Confer ence in Ottawa in 1902, no one had very much idea of the great undertaking it would prove to be. Five years later, Mrs. W. E. Stanley, State Regent, announced the completion of the marking of the trail with ninety-six markers. This was at the State Con ference in Leavenworth. Mrs. A. H. Horton, who had been appointed as a committee of one to find some one to write the story of the marking of the trail, reported that she could find no one willing to write and issue the pamphlet, so the subject was dropped.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summer Scamper: Along the Old Santa Fe Trail and Through the Gorges of Colorado to Zion We are in the habit of thinking and speaking of the section west of the Missouri River as a new country, yet it was explored before New England, and is as rich in legendry and romance as the castle-crowned banks of the Rhine. From the mouth of the Kaw River, along "The Old Santa Fe Trail," every mile has its history of peaceful commerce and bloody warfare; and when the land of the Pueblos is reached, the antiquarian will find ruins as venerable as England's most ancient abbey, and customs that are as old as Egypt. It was only thirty years after the discovery of this continent by Columbus, and nearly a century before the pious Pilgrims bowed their grateful knees upon "that stern and rock-bound coast," that an old buccaneer from Spain was rambling over the plains of Kansas, searching for Florida.
