That was cool.

I did see some scenes from Howard, Busby, Oak Valley, and Elk Falls, though, chuckle.

Longton's highest population was 744 in 1930.
"If one of the many corrupt...county-seat contests must be taken by way of illustration, the choice of Howard County, Kansas, is ideal." Dr. Everett Dick, The Sod-House Frontier, 1854-1890.
"One of the most expensive county-seat wars in terms of time and money lost..." Dr. Homer E Socolofsky, KSU

I liked it.

In the description below the video, it states that scenes from other towns are used. Doesn't distract, for me at least, from the beauty and truth of the video.  :)

I liked the pics,but it would have been nice to read some of the good stuff about Longton,like the friendly people,low land prices,cheap property taxes.....Hillbilly had another good one smashing cars at Larrys.I hope he makes more and someone posts them here.

I found that interesting also. I've been there a number of times, but not recently. I'd love to have seen it back when it was a bustling town .Actually, I could say that about all the little towns out there. Have a good day.
