Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Cowley County, Kansas During the first half of the pres ent century this land was in the remote centre of the Great American Desert of our old geographies. This desert was no myth, but a reality. There was no timber, except narrow strips skirting the principal streams, kept narrowed by the annual fire which swept the plains, whose rolling, ridgy surface was only sparsely covered by the mesquit, a small buffalo grass, which fed the millions of buffalo, which traversed the country in their annual migrations. Here, the coyote, the wolf, the deer, the antelope, the wild turkey, the beaver and the otter were at home, and the trapper of the plains and mountains sometimes visited it for game. It was the hunting grounds of the Osages, Cherokees and many wild tribes of In dians, who annually fired the short buffalo grass, and the general fires swept over the whole country.
