Woodson County Pioneers      


God  Blessed  America
January  29th,  1861,  Kansas  became  the  34th State of  these
United  States  of  America.
On  April  12th,  1861,   soldiers  of  the  Confederacy  fired  on
Fort  Sumter and  our  Nation  was  at  War, brother  against  brother.
Southeast  Kansas  became  the  focal  point  for  Raiders from
Oklahoma  and  Missouri.
Plows, and other tools of their  trade, were put
aside  and  muskets  prepared for battle..
Their  Native  American  friends  joined  in  their  fight  for
freedom.  
Pioneers, Buffalo  Soldier's, and  Indian's  formed  their  own  
brigades  of  Kansas  Home  Guard.   
These  determined  men and women formed the first line of defense, of  Kansas,
while  fellow  pioneers  to  the  north  prepared  for  their  own  defense.
Woodson County Pioneers
Gone,  but  Not  Forgotten, are  those  brave  men  and  women
who we called mom and dad; grandma and grandpa.
God  Bless  Kansas.
and
 God  Bless  our  Founding  Fathers
