History of Kansas and Kansans

This database contains a history of Kansas and Kansans. Topics covered in this work include the Santa Fe Trail, the Oregon Trail, Indians, government, churches, and military, along with biographical sketches of many of the leading and prominent citizens of the state. Historical works such as this contain valuable information that can be a great addition to your genealogical research. Although historical works will generally not mention your ancestors specifically, (unless they were one of the prominent citizens for which there is a biographical sketch written) they do provide information on the time and place in which your ancestors lived, which in turn will help you place your ancestors in a historical context.
