Frank Stahl: A Prairie Life |
Francis Marion (Frank) Stahl
was born in Ohio in 1841 and moved to Kansas in 1859. He rode the Santa
Fe trail twice, prospected in Colorado, fought in the Civil War, and led
an active and long life. (Click here
for a short biography published in 1918.) He chronicled many of his experiences
in diaries and in an autobiography, accessible via the links below. I
have also included information on his ancestors and descendants. I hope
you enjoy seeing a bit of his world through his eyes.
