history

"Dodge is the Deadwood of Kansas. Her incorporate limits are the rendezvous of all the unemployed scallwagism in seven states. Her principal business is polygamy without the sanction of religion, her code of morals is the honor of thieves, and decency she knows not."

- The Hays Daily Sentinel, 1870s -

I stumbled across this quote in late 2008 while doing some research for a post haunted Kansas -- a post I hope to have up later this month.
