True Tales of the Kingdom of Butler

This, the third volume in "The Kingdom of Butler" series, provides a somewhat different look at the fascinating story told by its two predecessors. Instead of reciting Butler County's history in chronological order with emphasis on events and dates, this volume attempts to be a recorder of light-hearted incidents and of interesting or unusual situations recalled by contributors. Thus, the title--"Tales of The Kingdom of Butler." Anecdotes, carefully researched by the author, fill its pages. All are true and, it is hoped, entertaining. Butler County, Kansas, was settled by a sturdy band of men and women who endured daily hardships in order to survive. At times, however, events or incidents occurred which occasioned fun and laughter. Others brought tears. It is such pioneer potpourri that "Tales of The Kingdom of Butler" attempts to recapture.
