Early Kansas Yule Depicted
Once upon a time, Kansans bundled up in buffalo lap robes with oven-warmed bricks at their toes and lumbered through snow laden prairies in open, horse drawn buckboards to Christmas celebrations.
There weren't many gifts given during the Christmas season 100 years ago in Kansas, said Sandra Alden, library assistant, because the early settlers were from New England. Christmas was not celebrated there, she continued.
They range from button hooks for high top shoes to sleds.
The various types of early Kansas Christmas presents between 1860-1890 are displayed on the second floor of Watson Library.
The other gifts in the exhibition could give harried Christmas shoppers some last minute ideas for gifts since 1961 is the Kansas Centennial. The Centennial gave Mrs. Alden the idea for the exhibit.
An old straight razor might cause grandfather to reminisce. Books, like the ones on exhibit ("Robinson Crusoe" and "Tom Sawyer") could thrill a youngster's heart. Wax dolls might make an unusual addition to a girl's doll collection. Various shaped iron banks were popular
