Tales and Trails of Wakarusa by Alexander Miller Harvey
"Tales and Trails of Wakarusa" by Alexander Miller Harvey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book explores the lives, adventures, and experiences of the early settlers and indigenous peoples in the Wakarusa Valley of Kansas, capturing the spirit of pioneer life and the various interactions among different cultures in this region.
