Senator Preston B. Plumb is little known today, but in his lifetime he was a legend. Plumb smuggled guns for the Free State movement, pursued Quantrill’s raiders, and served Kansas in the U.S. Congress.

Join us for a talk with author Johanna D. Wickman about her new book, The Forgotten Senator: The Life and Character of Preston B. Plumb. The book tells the exciting story of the Kansas senator’s life through stories of those who knew him, his own words in letters and articles, and many unpublished photographs. The author will have copies available for purchase.

This event will be held in-person and also livestreamed on the Watkins YouTube and Facebook.
