Atchison, seat of Atchison County, began to form when the natural river landing there attracted adventurers enroute to the gold fields of California in 1850. By 1859 as many as 1600 wagons would stop off at Atchison during a single day. During the same year the first telegraph message from the West to the East was dispatched from Atchison and Lincoln addressed a group here using the same speech with which he won the presidency later at Cooper Hall in New York City. In 1924 a handkerchief-dress craze hit Kansas. At Atchison over 250 dozen red and blue bandanas were sold to women who made dresses of them. Things are still hopping in Atchison, Kansas!
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
