Notes for James Richard Mead:
From Cutler's HISTORY OF KANSAS (Pub. 1883)

James Mead came to Kansas in 1859, and located at Burlingame. In the fall of 1859 he went on the plains, engaged in hunting and fur dealing. In the winter of the same year he commenced trading with the Indians. He established a trading post on the Saline River, 15 miles northwest of the point where Salina now is. Remained there until 1863, when he located at Towanda, Butler County and established a trading post at that place. Soon after there came from the Indian Nation 3,000 to 4,000 Indian refugees who located near his post. In 1864 the Government sent an agent among these Indians, who made his headquarters at Mr. Mead's post, and remained there until the close of the war, and the Indians
returned to their nation. Mr. Mead remained at that post until 1869, he not only supplying the Indians at this point, but sent out expeditions among the wild Indians of the plains. His trade averaged about $30,000. In 1869 he located at Wichita, and entered 160 acres of land where the city now stands, he having established a trading post on the Little Arkansas River near Wichita in 1865. He continued the trade until 1873. Since that time he has been engaged in banking, stock raising and farming, and is now engaged in stock raising, farming and mining, in Gunnison County, Colorado. He owns 1,000 acres of bottom land, mostly in Waco Township, Sedgwick County. His residence in Wichita is one of the largest and most beautiful in the city. During his life on the plains he was frequently employed by the United States Government in making treaties with the Indians. He was elected to the House of Representatives from Butler County in 1865. In 1868 he was elected State Senator from the District comprising Morris, Chase, Marion and Butler counties. He was one of the organizers of the Wichita and Southwestern R. R.; was the first President of the Company, and one of the Directors for a number of years. He was one of the individuals who contributed and built the first bridge across the Arkansas at Wichita. The bridge was built in 1872. The first bell in the Arkansas Valley was purchased by him at St. Louis, and donated to the Public School at Wichita.
