Stories

Since 1989, Trail End staff have written a number of articles of interest to members of the Trail End Guilds. Most were originally published in the Trail End newsletter. In order to share them with a wider audience, we  present them here in .pdf format.

Correspondence

 

For today's researchers, the Kendrick family's tendency to keep copies of letters both written and received has proven a blessing. Correspondence has been located on many topics, from personal and business relationships to the building of their home and ranch.

The Family

The Kendricks and their kin lived interesting lives. Fortunately for researchers, they kept a number of diaries, scrapbooks and letters chronicling their lives.

Preservation

At Trail End, the staff spends a great deal of time ensuring that the collections - furnishings, textiles, photographs and archival materials - are cared for in a professional manner. They like to pass that knowledge on to their friends and neighbors.

Local History

Part of the reason staff work at Trail End is because they love history - particularly local history. And they love to write about it. The articles here relate either to local events or how world events impacted the Sheridan area.
