He was now perfectly satisfied that he was dogged by the Kansans whom he had passed the preceding day, and in no very good humour, therefore, he picked up his rifle, and walked up to the bank where he had heard the Indians land. As he suspected, there were the three savages.
A few days later the Air Force told the Kansans what they'd seen: The reflection from burning waste gas torches in a local oil field. This was greeted with the Kansan version of the Bronx Cheer. And through a lot of sleepless nights they were able to "solve" 97.8% of them. Only 17 remained "unknowns."
In times of alleged danger all Kansans flock to arms and offer their lives in the interest of outraged humanity. These things are well, but where is the Pericles who can inspire men to give in times of peace what all are willing to give in the delirium of war that is to say, themselves?
Stalwart young men were these, of a different type from the Kansans and Missourians, yet not of the sort to be imposed upon. They were crack rifle-shots, and even then held decided opinions on the Indian question opinions which subsequent experiences have served to emphasize, but not change.
In this war each county wanted to read about its own regiments at the same time as about the Guards, just as Kansans at home would want to read about the Kansas regiment and Georgians about the Georgia regiment.

Of Irish birth and New York upbringing, she went to Kansas and, before she was twenty years old, married Charles L. Lease.
If the convention decided, however, not to submit the constitution, would not Congress have the right to accept it and admit Kansas as a Mate? This question was immediately raised. It now became plain that, by refusing to take part in the election, the free-state Kansans had thrown away a great tactical advantage. Of this blunder in generalship the Yancey men took instant advantage.
The Dakotas, Crows, Kiowas, Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Comanches, Osages, and Kansans have faithfully aided each other, though undesignedly in the main, in this crusade of extermination against the Pawnees. It has been, in the most emphatic sense, a struggle of the one against the many.
And he crawled bleeding to the rear. All the long forenoon the camp of the enemy continued to belch out men. The battery mowed them down, and once the Kansans were ordered to charge the hill, and the boys were left alone. It was there that the two were separated. John saw men sink in awful silence, and the blood ooze from their heads.
Into the hands of these savages he fell a prisoner, and was conducted to one of their villages. The principal chief there took all of his furs, traps, and other belongings. A very short time after his capture, the Kansans went to war with the Pawnees, and carried Captain Williams with them.
