The diversification of industry brought by the railroad, combined with a stabilized population level, transformed Fort Scott into a small industrial city unique in southeastern Kansas for its strong sense of community of a smaller town and the industrial diversity of a larger city.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
