The Dalton Gang and Their Family Ties

3rd Edition

by Nancy Ohnick

Eva Dalton, sister to the infamous Dalton Gang, lived in Meade, Kansas, in the mid to late 1880's. Her home in Meade was preserved as a tourist attraction over 60 years ago and remains today a piece of history in itself.

In The Dalton Gang and Their Family Ties one can learn about the preservation of the hideout and the story of Eva and John Whipple, the man she married while in Meade. This book contains information about Eva Dalton that can be found nowhere else.

The book also contains a comprehensive study of the Dalton family by Nancy B. Samuelson, and a story about their outlaw career by a Dalton descendent, Bill Phillips, as well as interesting stories reflected by old timers in the Meade area. Bill Dalton's outlaw activity is explored as it relates to the Southwest Kansas area.

This book will be of special interest to anyone looking for Dalton family genealogy. It is a small book, 6x9, 95 pages, but it is packed full of information and photos.

Trails South

The Wagon-Road Economy in the Dodge City-Panhandle Region

by C. Robert Haywood

As the expanding American frontier stabilized in western Kansas after 1870, Dodge City witnessed a lively trade to the south and west, across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. As the U.S. Army wound down its long war against the Plains Indians, it blazed a rough trail to serve the garrison to Camp Supply, in what is now northwest Oklahoma. There were other needs for trails as well; to serve towns, settlements, trading posts, farms, ranches and other military installations.

With a writing style that is both meticulous to accuracy and at the same time entertaining, C. Robert Haywood has put the story of trail development in the Dodge City-Panhandle region into historical perspective with his account of the people who made this vast transportation network possible; the troops and early entrepreneurs who laid out rough paths, the freighters who refined and developed those paths into established routes, and the people who serviced and were served by the routes.

A History of Meade County Kansas

An E-Book on CD

by Frank S Sullivan

    Sullivan's history of Meade County was probably the first book written about the area and is highly prized by the few who actually own a copy. Written in 1916, this book documents our history from pre-acquisition through the early 1900's.

    Since the book is so long out of print and many people have expressed an interest, we have published a new edition as an E-Book. This book is on a CD in PDF format in three different files: A History of Meade County, Farm Statistics, and Photographs. The CD also contains a "READ ME" file explaining its contents. This E-Book requires a computer for reading.
