Description

During the late nineteenth century American settlers and emigrants from Germany, Russia, Switzerland, and Sweden moved westward seeking a place to live in peace, raise their families, and better their lives. They slogged through the muddy trails of the Missouri and slowly progressed through the drier -but barely discernible trails of Nebraska until they arrived at what is now Cheyenne Cotmty, Kansas.
