From camps to forts, homes to hotels, the people of pre-statehood Kansas latched on to most anything with a promise of protection. Join Bill Pollard as he discusses the who, where and why of numerous forts from his book, Forts and Posts in Territorial Kansas. Pollard previously spoke at the Museum about forts and posts in Kansas during the Civil War. In this presentation, he turns back the clock to explore earlier forts.
