Any Interest? Planned personal domain: oldkansasmaps.org

[Samuel Kiteman Cody]

I have decided to create a kansas map and related historic stuff domain. This will be scans of maps in my possession. I am not worried about Copyright as the maps planned for display are all 100+ years old. Before I go any further I wanted a sanity check. The web site would have these three sections

Kansas and regional Maps 1840-1900
Price of various items from different sources: Examples would include food, clothes, guns, ammo and housing. Attribution of source would be included
Recipes of cooking from 1800-1900.  Source and Attributions as well

I do not expect it to be anything but a vanity page. But just want to be sure there would be interest. I am posting this elsewhere, So do not be surprised if you see this query elsewhere.

Cheers

Sounds as if this would make a great article for "The Shootist".    Check with  George Warnick at this e-mail address:  TheShootist@ncows.org  .... I'm sure he and the rest of us would be very grateful for this information.

Del, I have an old 1890-1900 Map of South Dakota, if you are interested.  I do not have a clue as how to get it too you, it is folded and rather brittle and I do not know how it would be able to be scanned uless it was taken somewhere and professionaly done but, a lot of interesting things appear on the Map shortly after Custer Had his little party in that part of the World.  The Map is probably one of the first ones published after they became a state. 

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I would love to have another site I could download stuff to share.

(I wish that we could get an equally knowledgable person to relieve our Editor from his multiple duties to act as webmaster and really expand our NCOWS website to include lots of shareware info, downloads, other features, etc. I think it is underused by the membership and prospective members, and could become far more vital.
A message center; want ads; bibliography listing reference books; a repository for The Originals persona storylines; post posse updates and newsletters.)
