Early Pioneer Families In Decatur County, Kansas
Copyright Fort Hays State University
Description
This account of some of the early pioneer families in Decatur County, Kansas and of their material and cultural contributions toward the development of a vigorous and distinctive community is derived from a series of newspaper articles written between 1966 and 1975 by Lillian Shimmick. Rather, her intent is to convey the unique flavor of the community in the late 1800's and to focus on the distinctive contributions made by the early pioneer families.
