This exhibit, which complements the Lewis and Clark exhibition, is located on
the
lower level of Ablah Library and will feature an array of materials, including maps,
newspapers, drawings, letters and other writings, which document the settlers' first
impressions of what was to become Kansas. The materials highlight both the
reactions of the settlers to what they viewed as a new land and their relationships
with the native peoples they encountered.
