For half a century, Emporia newspaper editor William
Allen White had something to say on virtually every topic that had
anything to do with Kansas or the nation. Born in Emporia in 1868, he
grew up in El Dorado, attended the College of Emporia and the University
of Kansas and worked on newspapers in Topeka and Kansas City before
buying the Emporia Gazette in 1895.
Thereafter until his death in 1944 he wrote countless editorials as
well as articles and books that earned him the title of the "Sage of
Emporia."
This exhibit examines the life of William Allen White. Historic photos,
quotes, newspaper articles, and more tell the story of this famous Kansan.

Literature has been part of Kansas life since people began translating
thoughts and feelings into stories. While Kansas was developing as a
territory and later a state, much of the words written revolved around
Kansas and its place in the world. Libraries were established during
territorial days by settlers who wanted to improve themselves. Today,
authors and their books are as diverse as the state's history.
This exhibit looks at Kansas literature and authors from territorial
day to the present. From newspapers, to tall tales, to cowboy poetry
and the forming of libraries across the state, this exhibit explores
many aspects of literature in our state. Produced by the Kansas State
Historical Society.
