Story of the town of Quindaro, Kansas, which materialized for a short while on the Missouri River upriver from the Town of Kansas (Kansas City) in 1857. The site was selected by Abelard Guthrie and Charles Robinson and named after Guthrie's wife, Nancy Quindaro Guthrie. It was designed to be a free state port on the west side of the Missouri River. After the early demise of the town, it later became a site of African American development and activities, including the site of Western University.
