Their dream was to own land and strike gold. In the case of many early Kansans, the gold would come from a sweet treat, sugar, processed from sugar beets grown in the rich Kansas soils. Their economic dreams concentrated in an area outside of Topeka, Kansas, called Sugar Works. This ghost town came and went quickly but its story of hope and dreams for wealth will live on.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
