Geocache Description:

Nice area with local history. Not the first person born in Kansas but the first Kansas Governor born in Kansas. Some of you may remember my multi cache, Tip of the Cap. This kinda replaces it but is not a multi cache. Granddaugher 4 and grandson 6 helped find the hiding spot.

There is a FTF $ as well as other small swag and a 1st to find geocoin. .

Arthur Capper (July 14, 1865 - December 19, 1951) was an American politician from Kansas. He was the 20th Governor of Kansas from 1915 to 1919 and a United States Senator from 1919 to 1949.
Capper was born in Garnett, Kansas. He attended the public schools and learned the art of printing. He became a newspaper publisher, eventually owning several newspapers and two radio stations. The best known of his publications, Capper's Weekly, had an enormous readership among farm families and served as the base of his political support in Kansas.
Capper first entered politics in 1912 when he became the Republican candidate for Governor of Kansas. In addition to a reputation built from his newspapers, he was also the son-in-law of former governor Samuel J. Crawford. He was defeated by Democrat George H. Hodges. However, Capper was elected governor in the next election in 1914 and served as Governor of Kansas from 1915 until 1919, winning re-election in 1916. He was the first native Kansan to serve as the state's governor. For more information, check out this 1918 site: (visit link)

Samuel J. Crawford was the 2nd governor of Kansas and lived in Garnett prior to the civil war and listed Garnett as his residence when he ran for governor
