We traveled through Kansas and the turned South to get to Oklahoma City. Our stop for the day was the Museum of Treasures in Wichita, Kansas. The Treasures were quite diverse: Egyptian mummies, ancient statues from Mexico, minerals and gems, dinosaur skeletons, uniforms and arms from World War I through Vietnam, and the true story of the Old West:
·
Most cowboys were Confederate veterans, over a half
million were African Americans.
·
Westerns would have you believe that bank
robberies were a regular occurrence in the old American West, but there were
less than a dozen bank robberies in 15 western states from 1859 to 1900.
·
The notorious Cow towns of Abilene, Caldwell,
Dodge City, Ellsworth and Wichita saw 45 murders from 1870 to 1885 among the
five cities that’s three murders per year.
