Home on the Range - Kansas State Song by Brewster Higley & Dan Kelley
Verse 1: Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day. Chorus:

Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand Flows leisurely down the stream; Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along Like a maid in a heavenly dream. Verse 4: The red man was pressed from this part of the West, He's likly no more to return To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever Their flickering campfires burn. Verse 5: How often at night when the are bright With the light of the glittering stars, Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed If their glory exceeds that of ours. Verse 6: Oh, I love these wild flowers in this dear land of ours; The curlew I love to hear scream; And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks That graze on the mountain-tops green. Verse 7: Then I would not exchange my home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play; Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day. Verse 2:
Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free, The breezes so balmy and light, That I would not exchange my home on the range

Problems arising in the State of Kansas

Problems arise with requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Since Jan. 1, 11,101 people who have wanted to vote had not yet been qualified to vote, because of the lacking proof that they are citizens, according to the Kansas Secretary of State's office. As a result one of three voter registration applications have not been finalized. In my opinion to solve this case we should block vistors or tourists from coming in and out of the state for as long as we can and then put surveys in restaurants, hotels, and neighborhoods making sure that they are citizens. Those who cannot fill out the survey and prove that they are citizens will be marked on a list, where they cannot vote and have their picture taken just in case they use another name. Like that the problem in the state should be solved.

James G. Blunt
James was born on July 21, 1826 in Trenton, Main. His mother and father were Sally Gilpatrick Blunt and John Blunt. He was very brave and noble because he was an abolitionist and at the same time a Union Majro General during the American Civil War. I don't think I have ever seen someone appointed to many titles of the army. in 1861, Blunt was appointed lieutenant colonel of the 3rd Kansas Volunteer regiment, a part of James Lane's Kansas Brigade. In April 1862, Blunt was appointed brigadier general of volunteers and given command of the Department and Army of Kansas. Blunt was appointed major general of volunteers on March 16, 1863. James was the only officer from Kansas to achieve that rank during the war, he was a hero in Kansas and an Historical figure for the eyes of many. When James and his family relocated to the Anderson County of Kansas he became involved with the conflict before the Civil War known as Bleeding Kansas, when abolitionist and slavery forces battled to control the territory. After that his life as an abolitionist began, he joined a force including Jim Lane and abolitionist John Brown during the confrontation with the pro-slavery territorial government in 1857 Blunt was also a key member of the Wyandotte constitutional convention that framed the Kansas state constitution in 1859, and served as chair of the committee on militia. It was the turning point of his life and after that he showed courage and leadership in the battles that he fought. The world is better off with James G. Blunt because of his intelligence on the battle fied during the American civil war. He was one of the fearless and best generals that served on the Union Side. The outcome of that battle decided the future of the whole world and if James didn't fight there might not be an America.
