A Directory OF THE Kansas Historical Exhibit IN THE Kansas State Building, AT THE WORLD'S Columbian Exposition, 1893. EXHIBITED BY THE State Historical Society. TOPEKA, KANSAS. 1893. Kansas. States are not great Except as men may make them. Men are not great except they do and dare But states, like men, Have destinies that take them — That bear them on, not knowing why or wiiere. — Ware. Walls of Corn. What do they hold — these walls of corn, Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn: He who questions may soon be told: A great state's wealth these walls enfold. Open the atlas, conned by rule, In the olden days of the district school; Point to the ricii and bounteous land, That yields such fruits to the toiler's hand. 'Treeless desert," they called it then, Haunted by beasts, and forsook by men. Little they knew what wealth untold Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled. Who would have dared, with brush or pen, As this land is now, to paint it then? — Mks. Allerton. Kansas State Officers. Governor, L. D. Lewei.ling, Wichita.

Kansas Historical Society. ^ I ^HE Kansas historical exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition is intended to indicate in some measure the character of the work of the Kansas State Historical Society. The primary object of the Society is that of preserving the materials of the history of Kansas. Beyond this, the scope of its work has been extended to that of making up a general library of ref- erence. The library now contains 70,318 volumes, namely: 14,414 bound volumes, 43,271 unbound volumes and pamphlets, and 12,633 bound news- paper files and volumes of periodicals. A special work of the Society is that of making a collection of the period- ical literature of the state and country, more especially of newspapei-s. The current issues of newspapers are regarded as the best materials of history. They contain a record of progress and a record of the social life of the peo- ple. In them is contained every essential fact connected with the growth and development of the community in which they are published : Marriages and deaths; the establishment of business and manufacturing enterprises, and their changes ; transfers of property ; the erection of all important buildings ; the results of elections; the opening of streets; the building of railroads ; fires and floods ; the municipal policies suggested, discussed, and adopted ; and the daily life, thought, hopes, triumphs and disappointments of the people. The work of the Kansas Historical Society in this department, proportionately, far exceeds that of any other library. The newspaper collections are chiefly of those local to Kansas. Of the 12,392 bound volumes of newspapers in the library, 9,054 are of Kansas newspapers. These cover the period of the en ■ tire history of Kansas since the passage of the law opening Kansas Territory to settlement. The first issue of the first Kansas newspaper is dated Septem- ber 16, 1854. The files of that newspaper are in the library of the Society. The library contains a complete collection of the publications of the state and territory of Kansas from the time of the organization of government within its limits, and a nearly complete collection of all the books and pam- (7) 8 Kansas Historical Exhibit. phlets of all classes published in Kansas. It has a very full collection of the publications of the United States Government, beginning with those of the first Congress, in 1789, and including the scientific and other publications is- sued by all the departments. The Society is making a full library of the re- ports and publications of all societies and institutions; such publications as contain the materials of the history of current thought, investigation and ex- perience in all departments of history, politics, sociology, religion, science, and the arts. The Society was organized in 1875, and began its work early in 1876. Its collections are the property of the state, and are kept in the state capitol, in rooms provided for the Society's use. The expenses of the work of the Soci- ety, and of purchases to augment its library, are defrayed by the state. The Exhibit. The World's Fair exhibit contains a selection of portraits, pictures and statuary from the Society's collections, also a selection of Kansas state pub- lications, and of books of history, science, and literature, relating to Kansas, or by Kansas authors. As a special feature of the Society is that of preserv- ing files of newspapers and periodicals, the newspapers published in two coun- ties of the state are exhibited: those of Douglas, one of the oldest counties, and those of Morton, one of the newest. The regular issues of all of the newspapers in all of the counties are thus being preserved. The portraits, pictures and statuary are in the south-central room of the second story of the Kansas building. The books, newspaper tiles and por- trait albums are in the educational room, on the same floor. The Kansas State Historical Society invites exchanges with all societies and institutions. World's ColumMan Exposition. Portraits and Pictures. The portraits and pictures in the exhibit are selected from those which have been collected in the State Historical Society since its organization, with a few others placed in the exhibit in order to complete certain groups. Some other pictures, in albums, are in the Society's cases in the Kansas World's Fair educational exhibit. 1. Chief Justice Samuel A. Kingman was born is Massachusetts, in 1818.

The books in this exhibit are by Kansas authors, or are such as relate in some way directly to Kansas. They by no means include all the books of this class which the library contains, many such being retained by reason of their need in the library for use. The exhibit does not in any degree repre- sent the large number of Kansas pamphlets in the library, and only gives a slight indication of the extent of the scrap collection, and shows nothing of the manuscript collection, and nothing of the contents of the general library.
