L1979.1.130Description
Willie Whitewater. W.R. Honnell's Life and Adventures Among the Indians as He Grew Up with the State of Kansas, as Told by Him. The narrative touches on the lives of three generations: the immigrant parents, their children and their children's children. Most particularly, it is the story of Mr. Honnell, a grandson of the pioneer couple. Among the subjects dealt with are early-day ferries, Military roads, frontier school, the building of a mission, a pioneer marriage, prairie schooners, the overland stage, Lincoln's visit to Kansas, the Pony Express, drought, grasshoppers, and a prairie fire. They are woven into the personal stories of the family - their loves, marriages, successes, failures - and are described with sympathy and humor.
