"Tallgrass prairie once covered 140 million acres of North America. Within a generation the vast majority was developed and plowed under. Today less than 4% remains, mostly here in the Kansas Flint Hills. The preserve protects a nationally significant remnant of the once vast tallgrass prairie and its cultural resources. Here the tallgrass prairie takes its last stand."

In the 1880s, only San Francisco was larger than this 40,000+ Gold-Rush town. In 1900 the mines stopped yeilding ore, and it was abandonded. A few citizens stayed behind to keep the ghosts company.
