CHAPTER XIV

KANSAS SINCE THE CIVIL WAR

Beginning of this Period. Nearly three score years have passed since the close of the Civil War; a period of work, growth, and progress.

Hundreds of new settlers poured into the State each year. Little pioneer homes dotted the eastern part of the State more and more thickly and the line of settlement moved rapidly westward.
