History: Leavenworth

Leavenworth is the oldest city in the state of Kansas and as such has a very rich history. Much

of the history is accessible by viewing the original articles published in the city's newspaper, the

Leavenworth Times, which was first established in 1859. Current issues (the past twelve months)

are available in the periodical section of the library. Issues as far back as 1859 may be accessed

on microfilm. The films are housed behind the Circulation Desk (Reference Staff will assist with

obtaining the film and explaining procedures). The Leavenworth Times is partially indexed (to

1859) and information may be retrieved using a computer on the main floor (Reference Staff will

assist). The index can prove to be a useful tool as one searches for articles from the past.

Frank Morrow Frank Morrow was born in Pickway, Ohio, May 15, 1867. Frank C. Morrow lived and worked in the City of

Leavenworth, Kansas, from 1885 until his death in 1936. During the early years of its history,

Leavenworth was a major industrial city on the eastern border of the Great Plains. Frank Morrow was

employed for 50 years as a clerk for the Great Western Manufacturing Company, one of the city's largest

industrial firms. During his leisure hours, Morrow photographed the City of Leavenworth as he knew it at

the turn-of-the-century. Frank Morrow left a gift, or legacy, to the City of Leavenworth in his broad array of

photographs.

A book about Frank Morrow with many prints of his photographs may be perused in the Kansas Room at the Leavenworth Public Library. The call number is: K 978.1382 MOR. The title is Leavenworth Legacy: Photographs of Frank C. Morrow.

Photocopies of various Frank Morrow photos are in the file drawers of a cabinet in the Kansas Room.

Newspapers Leavenworth is the oldest city in the state of Kansas and as such has a very rich history.

Much of the history is accessible by viewing the original articles published in the city's newspaper, the

Leavenworth Times, which was first established in 1859. Current issues (the past twelve months) are

available in the periodical section of the library. Issues as far back as 1859 may be accessed on

microfilm. The films are housed behind the Circulation Desk (Reference Staff will assist with obtaining

the film and explaining procedures).

The Leavenworth Times is partially indexed and information may be retrieved using a computer on

the main floor (Reference Staff will assist). The index can prove to be a useful tool as one searches for

articles from the past. While indexing of all dates and time periods has never been completed, the index

does include issues as far back as 1859 in some instances.
