Barry, Louise.  The Beginning of the West: Annals of the Kansas Gateway to the American West 1540-1854. Topeka: The Kansas State Historical Society, 1972. This title is out-of-print. Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 78-172252. I ordered this title on a search on Amazon.com. Once it is determined that a book is available, it can be ordered by e-mail from Amazon.com. Though the original price was $7.50, I  paid $65.99 plus $3.99, total $69.98. This 1,295-page-book is really remarkable and is essential to anyone working or Kansas history and the history of the Westward Movement. It is well documented with end-notes to every entry. Unfortunately, if there are several items of documentation it is difficult to determine which goes with which piece of text. For that reason, for some of the entries I have used from Barry, I have simply indicated the page from which it was taken from The Beginning of the West rather than to list all the original sources. In the view of the writer of the Foreword, Dale L. Morgan of the Bancroft Library, "[In] The Beginning of the West, we have a book to exemplify and to document the superb breadth and depth of the Kansas story, seen in the larger context. There cannot be the slightest doubt that it must influence all future scholarship to the American West."

The Delaware People  provides a suggested project a child could do and directions on how to acquire information for those who want to further study the Delaware people.

Ozark, MO: Dogwood Printing, 1989. Available at the Ohio Genealogical Society Library: USA 973 NA695i. The original has 108 pages. I obtained it on an interlibrary loan from the Wisconsin State Library. The author is a Baptist minister and he is writing principally about the Baptist minister, Charles Journey. Most of his material is from secondary sources, but there are a few tidbits about the Journeycake family that make reading worth while. Also, there are six photographs that add value to the book: of Charles Journeycake's home, his church, Charles Journeycake as a younger man and as an older man, his mother Sally ) Castelman) Journeycake, and his wife, Jane (Sosha/Socia) Journeycake. Those interest in the Baptist Church may find the book on interest. Although Reverend Mitchell writes fairly of Indian history and the Journeycake's, it is nevertheless written by a white man from a slightly condescending point of view.
