Description

Mr. O. Leroy Sedgwick established the Pottawatomi Land Office in St. Marys in 1870, and four years later began publishing a newspaper. In August, 1878, he moved his land office to Rossville, where pasture land sold for $1.75 an acre and good crop land could be had for $3.00 to $5.00 per acre. The newspaper, The Kansas Valley Times, was moved to Rossville from St. Marys in February, 1879. It was published until his death in 1881, and in June of 1882 was sold to the Kansas Valley Publishing Company in Topeka.
