Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Early Settlement of Dragoon Creek, Wabaunsee County The passengers on board were a mixed lot. Many were very respectable people, but others were gamblers who plied their profession until long past midnight. These left the boat at St. Charles, and it was generally under stood that they had cleaned up a nice little pile on the trip. About noon of September 8 we reached the hamlet of Kansas City, Mo., at which point my two roommates left the boat. Resuming the journey we reached Leavenworth about 6 p. M. The same day. I stored my trunk at a warehouse, and feeling so miserable I could not eat, I hunted up a lodging house. At this time Leavenworth was an important outfitting point for travelers. A road running from there to the south and west joined the Santa Fe trail in what is now the southeast corner of Wabaunsee county, and was a feeder to that great highway. The old trail at this date was broad and lined with sun owers, many attaining a large growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Darkest Period written by Ronald D. Parks and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before their relocation to the Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma, the Kanza Indians spent twenty-seven years on a reservation near Council Grove, Kansas, on the Santa Fe Trail. In The Darkest Period, Ronald D. Parks tells the story of those years of decline in Kanza history following the loss of the tribe’s original homeland in northeastern and central Kansas. Parks makes use of accounts by agents, missionaries, journalists, and ethnographers in crafting this tale. He addresses both the big picture—the effects of Manifest Destiny—and local particulars such as the devastating impact on the tribe of the Santa Fe Trail. The result is a story of human beings rather than historical abstractions. The Kanzas confronted powerful Euro-American forces during their last years in Kansas. Government officials and their policies, Protestant educators, predatory economic interests, and a host of continent-wide events affected the tribe profoundly. As Anglo-Americans invaded the Kanza homeland, the prairie was plowed and game disappeared. The Kanzas’ holy sites were desecrated and the tribe was increasingly confined to the reservation. During this “darkest period,” as chief Allegawaho called it in 1871, the Kanzas’ Neosho reservation population diminished by more than 60 percent. As one survivor put it, “They died of a broken heart, they died of a broken spirit.” But despite this adversity, as Parks’s narrative portrays, the Kanza people continued their relationship with the land—its weather, plants, animals, water, and landforms. Parks does not reduce the Kanzas’ story to one of hapless Indian victims traduced by the American government. For, while encroachment, disease, and environmental deterioration exerted enormous pressure on tribal cohesion, the Kanzas persisted in their struggle to exercise political autonomy while maintaining traditional social customs up to the time of removal in 1873 and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1857, the first major battle between the U.S. Army and the Cheyenne Indians took place in present-day northwest Kansas. The Cheyennes had formed a grand line of battle such as was never again seen in Plains Indians wars. But they had not seen sabres before, and when the cavalry charged, sabres drawn, they panicked. William Y. Chalfant re-creates the human dimensions of a battle that was as much a clash of cultures as it was a clash of the U.S. cavalry and Cheyenne warriors.

Book excerpt: The Santa Fe Trail survives today in ghostly wagon-wheel ruts that mark the landscape of Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico-reminders of a unique highway of commerce between the United States and Mexico, which has recently been granted historical trail status. The enduring story of the Santa Fe Trail, however, has been its central role in the history of the United States and Mexico and in the life of the land between them-the American Southwest. The Santa Fe Trail: New Perspectives is an informative collection of essays highlighting new directions of inquiry into one of the most important overland trade routes of the nineteenth century. Topics features in the essays include poetry of the trail, Bent's Fort and Manifest Destiny, women on the trail, the origin and development of the Mountain Branch, the role of New Mexican traders, buried treasure legends, and more. Contributors include Marc Simmons, David Lavender, Sandra Myres, Janet Lecompte, Barton Barbour, Daniel Muldoon, David Sandoval, David Dary, and Jack Rittenhouse.
