Abstract
The best summary of the scope of the book is found in the foreword. Leon Fouquet as an immigrant helped settle two states-Kansas and Oklahoma. "Fouquet believed he was seeing a transplanted revolution-an appraisal of some merit-in this new country, which to him was very strange, wild, beautiful, and offered him unbelievable opportunities" (p. xxvii). Read the book with this in mind and appreciate the efforts of the family in presenting in a readable form the information preserved in journals, scrapbooks, and letters.
