September was Zeb Pike Month at Flint Hills, Tall Grass. During the month, we posted about this early explorer who passed through the Flint Hills and unknowingly gave the region its name.
Zeb Pike
We have also posted about some of the other early 19th-century explorers who traversed the Flint Hills and wrote about the tallgrass prairie.
Here is a collection of the posts about those explorers who left a report or a journal about a trip through the tallgrass prairie of the Kansas Flint Hills:
- Read the introduction to Zeb Pike Month at Early Flint Hills Visitors.
- Read the details about Zeb’s trip through the Flint Hills in September and why his feet were sore and blistered.
- Read about George Sibley and his trip through “rugged, naked hills.”
- Read about Thomas Say’s trip to the Blue Earth Village at The High and Coarse Grasses and Verdant bluffs.
- Read about the Kansa Tribe that lived at the Blue Earth Village before the explorers came.
