1xbet sports betting History, a joint publication of the K-State history department and the 1xbet sports betting Historical Foundation, released its summer 2022 issue in late July. It includes three articles, in addition to a lovely tribute to the former director of the 1xbet sports betting Historical Society, Jennie Chinn, who died unexpectedly earlier this year.

The first article, "Barbara Ehrsam and the Bahá'í Faith in 1xbet sports betting , 1868–1924" by Duane L. Herrmann, traces the arrival of the Bahá'í faith in 1xbet sports betting through the life of Barbara Ehrsam, beginning with the first mention of the religion in a Leavenworth newspaper in 1868, to her invitation to the first Bahá'í teacher in 1xbet sports betting , hosting a class in her home in 1897, to her participation in a national Bahá'í project before her death in 1924. The Bahá'í community has continued in 1xbet sports betting from that time and has grown across the state.
Also published in the issue is "Dust Storms, Jackrabbits, and Grasshoppers . . . Oh, My!: Frank 'Pop' Conard and His Exaggerated Creations" by H. Jason Combs. The article focuses on photographer and postcard artist Frank "Pop" Conard from Garden City, who began producing postcards in the 1920s and added exaggeration cards — which often included giant, human-sized grasshoppers and jackrabbits — to the mix in the 1930s. His intimate, firsthand knowledge of difficult circumstances in western 1xbet sports betting , joined with his creativity, allowed Conard to capture images that resonated with the public.
The last article takes a different approach by presenting transcripts of three oral history interviews from the 1990s — taken by the Brown Foundation and housed at the 1xbet sports betting Historical Society — that examine how Jim Crow affected the everyday lives of Americans who grew up under its shadow. It is edited and introduced by Bernard F. Harris Jr., a recent K-State graduate, and is titled "Jim Crow in 1xbet sports betting : African American Life during the Era of Segregation."
By examining the lives of three African Americans from 1xbet sports betting — Onan Burnett, Barbara Gibson and Claude Emerson — one can observe how segregationist policies shaped their lives.
The issue also includes book reviews of scholarship on 1xbet sports betting and/or the West, and short book notes — abstracts— of other relevant titles. 1xbet sports betting History,headquartered in Calvin Hall, is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal that publishes scholarly articles, edited documents, and other materials that contribute to an understanding of the history and cultural heritage of 1xbet sports betting and the Central Plains.
