SE5 - Light From Richardson, Greeley and Villard 1859 Kansas Territory

1859 Kansas Territory -  Descriptions from three journalists of the same scenes - rare and interesting !

The Gregory Diggings were visited by three journalists (June '59) - one of which is known to all - the other two will be...

All had a hand in shaping our young country, albeit in different ways. When reading over these sections (while doing research) I thought it was so cool to read three versions of the same thing by great artists - which they indeed were!  Each with a light on what they thought pertinent.

Enjoy their genius, describing the cradle of future Colorado!

Thank you,
