That part which did not belong to the Great American Desert lies in the immediate vicinity of the Missouri river, whose sinuous course forms 150 miles of the northeastern border of Kansas. It was this part of the Missouri that formed the gate-way as it were, for entrance into a seemingly boundless prairie region lying to westward.

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 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.

The passing Of sixty Winters has left me a vigorous man, although my hair is as white as the January snowdrift in. The draws, and the strenuous events Of some of the years have put a tax on my strength. I shall always limp a little in my right foot - that was left out on the plains one freezing night with nothing under it but the earth, and nothing over it but the sky. Still, considering that al though the sixty years were spent mainly in that pioneer time when every day in Kansas was its busy day, I am not even beginning to feel Old. Neither am I sentimental and inclined to poetry. Life has given me mostly her prose selections for my study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, Vol. 1 N 0 one can ever be more conscious of the imperfections of this work than is the author. The history of Kansas, to be complete, can not be confined to the narrow bounds of two volumes. Adequately treated, there should be ten, and then there would be no dreary page. For there is no other history like Kansas history - it is an inspiration. But with whatever faults the book is burdened, it will be the model for the future historian by which to write the complete history of Kansas. It is on correct historical lines, and it is hoped that its mission and its aims will be found what the author intended - truth fearlessly told and justice served.
