the start of vacation season, when thousands take to the highways for the great American road-trip. While today we complain about the state of the nation’s highways, one hundred years ago road-trippers endured privations hard for us to imagine. What follows is an article which first appeared in the JCHS Journal in August of 1976, describing cross-country “brass era” motoring. This account of pre-superhighway auto travel in the early part of the century is written by Beatrice Morse Washburn, wife of a past Society president, Edward S. Washburn.

The January death of an Independence country music disc jockey from injuries sustained in two-vehicle collision near U.S. 40 and Sterling Avenue brought Cline to Kansas City several weeks later. What happened then – as well as during the decades since – continues to resonate with the late disc jockey’s two sons.

As the Kansas City Royals open their 2021 season, the E-Journal presents the following article by Pat O’Neill and Tom Coffman, local authors of the forthcoming book, “Ted Sullivan, Barnacle of Baseball: The Life of the Prolific League Founder, Scout, Manager and Unrivaled Huckster.” UMPIRES WEREN’T SAFE IN OLD KC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51181e81e4b04512ec820440/1615323614445-97B8OHOFTRJN8DT04MO5/1318214011.jpeg JCHS E-Journal - Alexander Doniphan Goes to Court This article is reprinted with permission from the new book The Will of Missouri: The Life, Times and Influence of Alexander Doniphan.

In this latest edition of the JCHS E-Journal we're featuring an article that originally appeared in the Missouri Historical Review in 1968. Writer Kevin McShane explores how Kansas City coped with the great influenza of 1918. Lessons learned 100 years ago can help guide our way today.

This site was first settled in 1836 by Archibald Rice and family. They built the still standing, Gothic-Revival farmhouse in 1844, a homestead and campsite on the Santa Fe Trail. It served as a jumping off point for emigrants on the Oregon and California trails and is mentioned in many emigrant diaries as a popular campsite and a place where they could purchase food. The trails passed along the north and west side of the home. In addition to the home, several log structures were built on the property in the mid-1800s. The one that still stands, Aunt Sophia White's Cabin, was built in the 1830s. Note: The Rice-Tremonti Home is not associated with the Raytown Historical Society.
