A Naturalist's Guide to the Great Plains
Paul A. Johnsgard A Naturalist’s Guide to the Great Plains Sites, Species, and Spectacles This book documents nearly 500 US and Canadian locations where wildlife refuges, na- ture preserves, and similar properties protect natural sites that lie within the North Amer- ican Great Plains, from Canada’s Prairie Provinces to the Texas-Mexico border. Information on site location, size, biological diversity, and the presence of especially rare or interest- ing flora and fauna are mentioned, as well as driving directions, mailing addresses, and phone numbers or internet addresses, as available. US federal sites include 11 national grasslands, 13 national parks, 16 national monuments, and more than 70 national wild- life refuges. State properties include nearly 100 state parks and wildlife management ar- eas. Also included are about 60 national and provincial parks, national wildlife areas, and migratory bird sanctuaries in Canada’s Prairie Provinces. Numerous public-access prop- erties owned by counties, towns, and private organizations, such as the Nature Conser- vancy, National Audubon Society, and other conservation and preservation groups, are also described. Introductory essays describe the geological and recent histories of each of the five mul- tistate and multiprovince regions recognized, along with some of the author’s personal memories of them. The 92,000-word text is supplemented with 7 maps and 31 drawings by the author and more than 700 references. Cover photo by Paul Johnsgard. Back cover drawing courtesy of David Routon.

Pioneer Life and Lore of Mcpherson County, Kansas
PREFACE. This little book does not pretend to be a complete history of Pioneer days in McPherson County. The hope of the compiler is that it may paint a typical picture of the pioneer life in the various townships and that it may arouse the interest of a few others in preserving the history of our County. There has been no intentional discrimination among the few pioneers left in getting these interviews. The choice was largely a matter of chance, advice from others or ignorance of the existence of living pioneers. There are undoubtedly some who could add much to these sketches. The County Historical and Archeological Society which has recently been organized hopes in the future to do much wider and more thorough research than this. To my Grandmother, Hattie Allstatt Hawkinson, and the memory of my three other grandparents who with the rest of the prairie pioneers, paced a difficult road with never faltering foot steps. INTRODUCTION. There is a supposition that in 1541 the restless Coronado set foot in McPherson County, thus holding the honor of being the first white man to do that. Centuries rolled by and in 1866 one of the first white settlers of the county, Sanford Reese, found a Spanish coin in Gypsum Creek township within sight of those two peaks in Delmore township known as "Twin Mounds". A few years later Professor J. A. Udden of Bethany College in Lindsborg, found a bit of Spanish chain mail in one of the six Indian village sites in the county on Paint creek in Harper township. -

Wings over the Great Plains: Bird Migrations in the Central Flyway Paul A. Johnsgard Abstract The Central Flyway has been recognized as a collective North- South migratory pathway centered on the North American Great Plains for nearly a century, but it has never been analyzed as the species that most closely follow it, or the major stopping points used by those species on their journeys between their northern breeding and southern wintering grounds. A total of 114 U.S. and 21 Canadian localities of special importance to birds migrat- ing within the Central Flyway are identified and described in de- tail. Judging from available regional, state and local information, nearly 400 species of 50 avian families regularly use the Central Flyway during their migrations. Nearly 90 Central Flyway spe- cies have wintering areas partly extending variably far into the Neotropic zoogeographic realm, and at least 50 of these winter entirely within the Neotropic realm. -
