    • Abstract:
      The westward surge and rebound of immigrants to Kansas in the last half of the nineteenth century was followed by constant shifts of population from higher to lower density areas, and from rigorous pioneer activities to the more convenient and less strenuous life in the settled regions which were due in large part to the effect of the topography, climate, rainfall, and natural vegetation in the three demographic subregions within the state. Successive stages of community development as well as varied cultures and different occupational and personality types have accompanied these population shifts from region to region.
