Topeka, KS : Kansas State Historical Society, 1977 Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka, KS. 1977. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated 2nd Edition Revised from the 1939 copy with more current photographs. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a F/O name on the FFFP. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 120 pp 8vo. This Methodist Mission was started in 1830 by Rev. Thomas Johnson as training, teaching, civilizing dormitory school for Eastern Indians that were either peacefully of forcefully removed from their natural grounds. For years it was an outpost of civilization before entering the Kansas plains; Santa Fe and Oregon Trails, first governor office of Kansas Territory, legislative hall, antislavery and proslavery meetings, and for housing Civil War troops. The school was discontinued in 1862 and fell into private hands. This is a condensation of a manuscript of 465 pages compiled by Miss Caldwell. A clean very presentable copy.
