Thesis / Dissertation Description

This thesis is a study of the history of Fort Larned Kansas covering the years 1859-1932. The establishment of forts and garrisons along the Old Santa Fe Trail, for the protection of emigrants and freighters to the new lands secured by the United States, as a consequence of the Mexican War, was commenced in the early fifties of the nineteenth century. These forts constituted a chain of defense from the Missouri River to the old town of Santa Fe, New Mexico. A sketch by Theodore R. Davis is included.
