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 A History of Kansas The attempt has been made, in preparing this volume, to give, within a convenient compass, the most interesting and material occurrences and events in the history of the rise of a great Free State from a wilderness. Harrowing details and discreditable happenings have been purposely omitted. The story has been told as a record of courage and steadfastness, and increasing devotion to the principles of human freedom and national union. Events have been arranged, as nearly as possible, in the order of the years, with an occasional arrangement of the years in periods or groups, with no further classification or subdivision. No attempt has been made to "write down" to the supposed intellectual capacity of children. Students old enough to enter upon the study of the history of an American State, it is believed, will find all the statements and conclusions comprehensible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Kansas Medical Society, 1909, Vol. 9 White City he is building. The son said: Father wanted you to go in that scheme with him. Did you invest? Well, no, I did not, but, he talks lucidly and brilliantly. He is sane I say; if anyone is insane, you are, for even making such an accusation against him. Now, that is it, he knows things, knows what he wishes to do, but at the same time the ventures he was contemplating were too risky for the adviser's money, yet he could see nothing insane in the man wishing to invest a fortune in the undertaking, knowing at the same time the kind of talk he was indulging in about the poisoning, enmity of family, and so forth. The man was sane, he said, be cause he could talk brightly, even if he did go about accusing lis family and physician of putting poison in his food, going through large stores, as well as, on the streets, denouncing his poor, faithful old wife as a prostitute, and applying all sorts of epithets against her, shouting that his sons were yellow dogs, bastards, and ordering them from their home, all this he says is sane! And what he says, the world at large is saying every day in relation to other cases just as well marked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas in Literature, Vol. 1: Poetry; With a Historical Sketch and a Bibliography The burden of the grasshopper years, 187 4 and 1875, depressed the literary activities of Kansas, if we may judge from the fact that the five years beginning with 1 8 7 4 saw but eight volumes of belles lettres published by Kansans. One of the ventures of this time was the monu mental work of D. W. Wilder, The Annals of Kansas. In compiling this invaluable chronicle Mr. Wilder, who is qualified for literary work of a much higher order, gave an edifying example of self-denying scholarship. The discrimination, the restraint, the judicial fairness mani fested in the Annals are qualities which command grateful recognition, although the work can be called lit er ature only in the broadest sense.

Download or read book Kansas Classic Reprint written by George W. Winans and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kansas As far as it has been found possible, the geography of Kansas as presented in this small volume has received causal treatment, a distinguishing feature of the series of which it is a supplementary volume. Emphasis has been placed on the industries of the state and on the industries of different parts of the state. These industries - agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce - depend very largely on the physiographic conditions that influence climate, which mainly determines the productions and the occupations of the people. Some information concerning the history and the government of the state has been given; and the educational system of the state has been briefly outlined. In short, the book attempts to present such a view of the state of Kansas - its resources, its industries, and the life of its people - as ought to be known and may readily be learned by pupils belonging to the grammar grades of our public schools. It is hoped that the book will be found to have a value of its own apart from its use as a volume supplementary to a complete series. Grateful acknowledgment for assistance in obtaining valuable material is due to Mr. F. W. Coburn, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, Mr. George W. Martin, Secretary of the State Historical Society, Mr. W. H. Smith, Secretary of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners, Mr. George A. Clark, Secretary of State, and Mr. Frank Nelson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; also to Mr. T. A. McNeal of Topeka, the Santa Fe Railroad Company, Mrs. Emma Harvey of Council Grove, and others who kindly furnished photographs from which the illustrations have been made.
