Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 19 The old Bernard home stands on the south bank of the Cotton wood near the mouth of French creek. To reach the place today it is necessary to leave the highway and drive through a field, fording a creek which is a short distance from the house. The original log cabin, the home of the Bernards in the earliest days, is still standing and still sturdy. It is On the very bank Of the river. The big house is in front of the cabin, a bit farther from the river. Part of the house has been torn down and moved out to the highway where it has been remodeled into a home for the present occupant of the farm. The rest of the house has fallen into decay. The huge fireplace built into the wall between the kitchen and dining room has been removed but the hearth is still there, and the long covered wood box beside it has not been disturbed. It is long enough to have been used for a bed and probably was a great many times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1 By an act of congress of May 26, 1830, the United States government, as if in the belief that its domain embraced land enough for all its people to grow in, magnanimously set aside an indefinite area, some six hundred miles from north to south and two hundred miles in width, as Indian territory. To this region, which lay west of the territory of Arkansas and of the ten-year-old state of Missouri, extending northward to the Platte and Missouri rivers, all Indians from the eastern portion of the country were to be removed as rapidly as the government could persuade them to cede their ancestral lands and take other lands, far to the west, in exchange. The plan of the government seems to have been to make over these various Indian groups, once they had been transplanted to their new homes, into self-supporting communities. To this end, provision was made for teachers and missionaries to accompany them, and for agricultural tools and supplies, paid for out of funds held in trust for the Indians by the paternal government, to be distributed under the benevolent direction of agents appointed from Washington. The teachers were to teach the Indians their letters and the rudiments of civilized deportment. Farmers and artisans employed by the government were to teach them to plow, sow, and reap, and such elementary industrial arts as blacksmithing. Missionaries were to persuade them to give up the evil ways of barbarism and become Christians. Meanwhile, the evacuated Indian lands east of the Mississippi could be distributed to land-hungry pioneers. There is abundant record of how that grandiose plan, in its execution, fell somewhat short of expectations. And there would be no place for even a mention of it here except for the fact that one of the missionaries who accompanied a certain band of Indians into the far west had started life as a printer and in his new career combined printing with preaching. Jotham Meeker was the name of this printer-missionary. He had been born in or near Cincinnati, Ohio, November 8, 1804.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 14 of 31 N beginning this series, it seems advisable to consider how we can determine the value Of a picture as a document or a record Of the past. Doubtless no one will question that pictorial records are important, although professional historians in general have not Often made them a matter Of serious study. In fact, the most surprising circumstance is that many historians, professionals and amateurs alike, who are most meticulous about documenting their written manuscripts with source notes and arguments, use illustrations with out the least attempt at documenting the source or the authenticity Of the illustrations used. This practice is SO common that it seems invidious to single out any one case for criticism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 8: 1939, (Kansas Historical Collections, Vol; XXV) Everett,3 with their two small sons,4 migrated to Kansas terri tory from Steuben township, Oneida county, New York, in the spring Of 1855 and settled in the vicinity Of Osawatomie, present Miami county. The letters here reproduced were written during the period 1855-1864, with the exception Of two written by John Everett in October, 1854, while on a preliminary visit to the territory to select a location. They offer an unusual picture Of a pioneer family struggling against the hazards of the frontier, the vagaries Of nature, and political turmoil. John Everett's interest in reform followed closely that Of his father, Robert Everett, a Welsh Congregational minister and leader among his people 'in this country.5 The latter had revised and published in 1854 a Welsh translation Of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and John Everett traveled among the Welsh settlements in New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania selling this and other books before his re moval to Kansas. Sarah Everett was likewise interested in the Antislavery cause, and she and her husband abandoned a plan to migrate to Minnesota in order to lend their aid in making Kansas a free state. Their sincerity of purpose is manifest in their letters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 23 The overland trade to New Mexico was the most ancient and honorable of all ox-team freighting from Missouri river towns. Beginning in the eighteen twenties, it grew slowly until the Mexican War; then the necessity of supplying troops stationed in the area, as well as other Americans, created a new era in this traffic. Lower Missouri river towns outfitted this trade in its infancy. But when Kansas City came into existence in the forties it soon became the headquarters. Its fame lies in being the patron saint of the trade down the old Santa Fe trail. It enjoyed practically an unbroken monopoly on the private trade to New Mexico, but only a small proportion of the other western trade. Independence, Mo., located in the fat farming country ten miles east of the Kansas boundary, and four miles below the river, was the depot for the Santa Fe and Indian trade as early as 1832, favored because it was the westernmost point of settlement. This it enjoyed until a new settlement, farther to the west, at the bend of the river, grew up to steal the whole business. Thomas Hart Benton, spokesman for the West in this middle period, once prophesied: There, gentlemen, where that rocky bluff meets and turns aside the sweeping current of this mighty river there, where the Missouri, after running its southward course for nearly two thousand miles, turns eastward to the Mississippi, a large commercial and manufacturing community will congregate, and less than a generation will see a great city on those hills. Evidently other men, not necessarily shrewd men either, saw that there where the current ran close to the rock bank, making an excellent landing, should rise a frontier depot. Just below this ideal landing place, upon the trail from Independence, there was growing a settlement known as Westport, noted for its "truck and dicker" trade with the Indians and the sale of last-minute knickknacks to emigrants. Although goods were landed there at the bend after 1832, freighters still loaded in Independence until the middle of the forties.
