SUMMARY:Remembering Civil War Veterans Who Settled Wichita and Sedgwick County
DESCRIPTION:Several thousand veterans of the bloody Civil War arrived in Wichita- and Sedgwick County during the late 19th century. Many of the veterans had experienced years of mortal combat\, been wounded\, lost limbs\, and been held captive as prisoners of war. They were eager to obtain free land\, start families\, and begin new lives on the frontier. \n\n\n\nWhile many were successful farmers\, others provided business\, professional\, and political leadership for more than a generation. Many of these rest permanently in Highland and Maple Grove Cemeteries. \n\n\n\nThis presentation\, utilizing images and historical records\, focuses on a number of veterans who were active in the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.). Union veterans established ten G.A.R. posts in Sedgwick County. The Garfield post (#25) in Wichita would become the largest in Kansas.
