The pages of Kansas history are filled with the stories of many men. ln 15-'11 Coronado and his conquistadores visited Kansas in search of the fabled Seven Cities of Gold. Pike crossed Kansas enroute to Pike's Peak, and the Lewis and Clark expedition went through the state in 18014. An important link of the legendary Pony Express lay across Kansas, and slicing diagonally through the Kansas plains was the Santa Fe Trail, the ruts of which may still be seen in some fields. Kansas has seen Indians and great herds of bison, pioneers and homesteaders, peace and bitter war. In 1861 Kansas entered the Union as a free state, hut only after a struggle with the Missouri pro-slavery men who crossed the line to stuff the hallot boxes. During the Civil XY ar Kansas furnished more men per total population than any other state in the Union. The Sunflower State was continually raided during the hostilities, perhaps most viciously by the infamous Quantrill, who in 1863 sacked Lawrence. Wfhen the war was over, Kansas entered the period of continuing growth that has made the state the leader in industry and agriculture that it is today. This is the land of the Jayhawker. This is the XVheat State, the nations bread- hasket.
