Richmond Chapter 10: Immigrants on the Prairies

This chapter was an overview of the various immigrants to settle in early Kansas. I had always known about the Italians in Frotenac, the Swedish in Lindsborg, and Mennonites scattered throughout. However, there were a number of groups Miner mentioned that I had never heard of. The French are one example.

To teach this, I would have students choose one of the settlements and create a museum display showing the history (past and present), the people, culture, and the accomplishments of the settlement.
