Remembering Finney County 1948 with David McReynolds
David McReynolds, then a 19 year old Prohibition Party organizer from California, lived with a Finney County farm family in Garden City during the 1948 campaign. He recalls a liberal town minister, a hard drinking judge, a dirt farmer, a medicine show, and Kansas dry efforts, noting the outdoor pool, a 100 degree heat, and the memory of election time frost as a backdrop to his youth and later political work in New York.
