Download or read book Kansas Boy written by A. J. Bolinger and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kansas Boy: The Memoir of A. J. Bolinger offers the twenty-first-century reader delightful and revealing insights on life during an era of dramatic change in American history. Bolinger describes those years as “bursting with energy, wild with ambition.” The Kansas of his childhood and young adulthood was a place where life was lived at a rapid pace: investors pursued fortunes as town developers, settlers sought to establish prosperous farms and ranches, and reformers tried to create an ideal society. A. J. opens his account with a vividly detailed description of the prairie itself, including how the frontier settlements of Kansas were in the process of becoming established communities. Born and raised in Elk County, Kansas, he tells stories of ranching and cattle drives. Retelling some of the legends of early Kansas, he debunks more than a few frontier myths. As he moves toward adulthood his accounts of farming and small-town life grow increasingly aware of the agricultural crisis of the 1880s and 1890s faced by farmers and small-town businesses as they struggled with the growing power of corporations, in particular the railroads. In doing so he offers ground-level insights into the appeal of the Populist movement and the rise of the People’s Party. The challenges result in the Bolinger family’s move to the city of Topeka where A. J. attends Washburn College. As a college student he helps temperance activist Carry Nation wage her antisaloon campaign and goes to Washburn’s new law school. His first step in pursuing what would be a lifelong career in the law is to replicate his family’s and his era’s pattern of moving to where new opportunities lay: the Oklahoma territory. A. J. Bolinger (1881–1977) offers today’s reader a deeply felt memoir with keen insights and thoughtful commentary that is by turns startlingly progressive and deeply conservative. He offers us a richer understanding of life on the prairies and plains of the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This one-stop reference work is a governors’ hall of fame—a compendium of information about the 51 men who have held the chief executive post since the opening of the Kansas Territory in 1854. Using both primary and secondary sources, historian Homer Socolofsky sketches a concise biography of each governor and compares their roles in Kansas history. He also provides comparative election and demographic data, as well as suggestions for additional reading. Supplementing the text are 93 historic photographs, including each chief executive’s portrait and autograph. Twelve maps and tables depict and compare aspects of the governors’ lives, showing occupational background, birthplace, and residence. Kansas Governors brings together in a single volume a far more complete treatment of both territorial and state governors—as well as acting governors—than can be found in other biographical dictionaries. It will be a useful tool for Kansas history buffs, and an essential reference for school and public libraries.

Download or read book Our Boys written by Joe Drape and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-08-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring portrait of the extraordinary high-school football team whose quest for perfection sustains its hometown in the heartland The football team in Smith Center, Kansas, has won sixty-seven games in a row, the nation's longest high-school winning streak. They have done so by embracing a philosophy of life taught by their legendary coach, Roger Barta: "Respect each other, then learn to love each other and together we are champions." But as they embarked on a quest for a fifth consecutive title in the fall of 2008, they faced a potentially destabilizing transition: the greatest senior class in school history had graduated, and Barta was contemplating retirement after three decades on the sidelines. In Smith Center--population: 1,931--this changing of the guard was seismic. Hours removed from the nearest city, the town revolves around "our boys" in a way that goes to the heart of what America's heartland is today. Joe Drape, a Kansas City native and an award-winning sportswriter for The New York Times, moved his family to Smith Center to discover what makes the team and the town an inspiration even to those who live hundreds of miles away. His stories of the coaches, players, and parents reveal a community fighting to hold on to a way of life that is rich in value, even as its economic fortunes decline. Drape's moving portrait of Coach Barta and the impressive young men of Smith Center is sure to take its place among the more memorable American sports stories of recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are the stories and tall tales of one boy and his friend who started out in life a little bit out of the ordinary! He was brought into this world by Stork-37 during cold, wintry blizzard conditions in a small village in west-central Kansas farmland called Dundee and had to endure hardships that allowed him to grow up quite quickly. Entrepreneurial and inquisitive by nature, he had abilities and foresight that few boys his age had. That inquisitiveness helped teach him important lessons in life. “Live to learn. Learn to live” was one of his favorite sayings. Living the farming lifestyle in the 1929s, he quickly learned how to save resources and use material and tools at his disposal for creating and building small projects such as beehives, chicken and turkey shelters, and small rabbit hutches, at the same time out for taking walks and discussing life with his friend, Walking Crow. His family, especially his grandpa, encouraged his growth and assisted him with his ideas and abilities. Whistling was an art in those days, and many men made a profession of whistling and singing as groups or doing solo acts. Although well-known for his whistling and singing voice, Grandpa just whistled and sang for pleasure and the freedom to create tunes as he worked at smithin’! Together, one boy and one blacksmith, along with family, toured the Great Depression year of 1929 and made it a fun year!
