Prairie Jewels: History of Schools, Churches, Post Offices, and Cemeteries of Jewell County, Kansas

This book will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of north-central Kansas or seeking family history information about past residents of Jewell County. It is the culmination of an extensive effort to collect and organize historical information from county records, historical writings, newspaper articles, family documents, and interviews with residents and former residents. Personal memories and family stories enliven the factual public records. Many photographs are included of the buildings, people, and activities of the times. This type of historical information is rapidly being lost and will be increasingly valuable in future decades. Proceeds from the sale of this book go the Jewell County Historical Society, which is a non-profit historical organization.
