A Kansas newspaperman looks back on growing up in Wetmore from 1869, when the town was new: the mineral spring, roses, the old swimming hole, Texas cattle and rattlesnakes, circus days, family scrapes and a supposed chicken theft. Short, homely sketches recall the people of Nemaha County and the staff of the local paper in the Gay Nineties.
Small-town prairie memory at first hand, for anyone curious about everyday life on the Kansas frontier. Download the free EPUB.
