The Bald Eagle archive

This quarterly newsletter, the Lecompton Historical Society's Bald Eagle, soared into cyberspace earlier this year. It's a major event for historians, educators, Kansas Territory buffs, because it provides access to nearly 30 years of historical accounts of happenings in much of northeastern Kansas.

The majority of these newsletters were digitized by Constitution Hall alternate Evan Ashcraft.

What's so satisfying to the Bald Eagle staff is that the genealogy presentations of Iona Spencer, the historical writings of Sara Walters, John Peterson, Tim Rues, Tom Goodrich, J. Howard Duncan, Chuck Wright, Paul Bahnmaier, Julia Springer and others and the wonderful artwork of Ellen Duncan is available to all the world on the Internet.
