Old Fort Hays Remembered in Kansas Frontier Days
A long survey of Old Fort Hays recounts its violent, romantic history. It details the fort’s relocation from Big Creek to its present site, the clash between soldiers and cowboys in Lyons City, the ghostly Boo Hii cemetery with forty five unnamed graves, and the 19th century storehouse raids along the Union Pacific. The piece notes deadly mob justice in frontier times and the era’s broader civilizational sweep.
