Abstract
My research project is over early historical depictions of agriculture in Kansas 1887. I am trying to figure out if farms in the historical atlas of Kansas truly represented agriculture; did the farmsteads, livestock, and crops really look like the pictures? This study is includes a focus on Pottawatomie County, Kansas, pictures from the 1887 historical atlas, actual photographs of Kansas agriculture, a brief historical background on agriculture in general, and information from the First Biennial Report of the State Board of Agriculture Kansas.
