Excerpt from A New Centennial History of the State of Kansas: Being a Full and Complete Civil, Political and Military History of the State, From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time The central state of the union must, in the progress of time, become of im mense importance in the economy of the nation, and may be the seat of empire; hence it is of some moment that every possible contribution toward its authentic history should be preserved in such form as will be best availa ble toward constructing the philosophy of its development, when Chronos shall have ripened his fruit; and for the same reason it is to be desired that the writer should throw no unjustifiable animus into his narration. History should be for society and man, what the earth's crust is for the mons of time that have elapsed since its primary rocks were first solidified; a faithful pre scutation of every fact and feature, whose imprint could be made before the fugitive and protean matter had put on another semblance. The chronicler whose capacity may enable him to achieve a result so glorious will make a name greater than Herodotus aimed at, or Thucydides imagined; and there are approaches toward that degree of excellence among the writers now liv ing, or just passing away. Such a design could not be fulfilled for Kansas, except in arudimentary and incomplete way at the present era; but it is something to have helped in preparing the material for a great edifice, and to that extent the writer hopes he has attained a measure of success.
