Abilene is a city in and the county seat of Dickinson County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 6,844. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is located in Abilene.
For millennia, the land now known as Kansas was inhabited by Native Americans. In 1803, most of modern Kansas was secured by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase. In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. state.
In 1857, Dickinson County was founded. Abilene began as a stage coach stop in the same year, established by Timothy Hersey and named Mud Creek. It wasn't until 1860 that it was named Abilene, from a passage in the Bible (Luke 3:1), meaning "city of the plains".
In 1867, the Kansas Pacific Railway (Union Pacific) pushed westward through Abilene. In the same year, Joseph G. McCoy purchased 250 acres of land north and east of Abilene, on which he built a hotel, the Drover’s Cottage, stockyards equipped for 2,000 heads of cattle, and a stable for their horses. The Kansas Pacific put in a switch at Abilene that enabled the cattle cars to be loaded and sent on to their destinations. The first twenty carloads left September 5, 1867, en route to Chicago, Illinois, where McCoy was familiar with the market. The town grew quickly and became the very first "cow town" of the west.
McCoy encouraged Texas cattlemen to drive their herds to his stockyards. From 1867 to 1871, the Chisholm Trail ended in Abilene, bringing in many travelers and making Abilene one of the wildest towns in the west. The stockyards shipped 35,000 head in 1867 and became the largest stockyards west of Kansas City, Kansas. In 1871, more than 5,000 cowboys herded from 600,000 to 700,000 cows to Abilene and other Kansas railheads. Another source reports 440,200 head of cattle were shipped out of Abilene from 1867 to 1871. As railroads were built further south, the end of the Chisholm Trail was slowly moved south towards Caldwell, while as Kansas homesteaders moved the trail west towards and past Ellsworth.
Town marshal Tom "Bear River" Smith was initially successful policing Abilene, often using only his bare hands. He survived two assassination attempts during his tenure. However, he was murdered and decapitated on November 2, 1870. Smith wounded one of his two attackers during the shootout preceding his death, and both suspects received life in prison for the offense. He was replaced by Wild Bill Hickok in April 1871. Hickok's time as marshal was short-lived. While standing off a crowd during a street brawl, gambler Phil Coe took two shots at Hickok, who returned fire, killing Coe, but then accidentally shot his friend and deputy, Mike Williams, who was coming to his aid. He lost his job two months later in December.
In 1880 Conrad Lebold built the Lebold Mansion. Lebold was one of the early town developers and bankers from 1869 through 1889. The Hersey dugout can still be seen in the cellar, and the house is open for tours. A marker outside credits the name of the town being given by opening a Bible and using the first place name pointed to.
In 1887, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built a branch line from Neva (3 miles west of Strong City) through Abilene to Superior, Nebraska. In 1996, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway merged with Burlington Northern Railroad and renamed to the current BNSF Railway. Most locals still refer to this railroad as the "Santa Fe".
Abilene became home to Dwight D. Eisenhower when his family moved to Abilene from Denison, Texas in 1892. Eisenhower attended elementary school through high school in Abilene, graduating in 1909. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is the burial site of President Eisenhower, his wife, Mamie, and their first-born son Doud Dwight.

1127 Ash Street, Abilene, Texas: Built in 1910, this simple frame house is one room wide and three rooms deep. This one is on the National Register. It is a shame about the current condition, but these vernacular structures aren’t often held in the highest regard by the communities that built them.
Abilene has a few of these shotguns left. The building style is believed to be a carryover from African building traditions, somewhat modified Haitian vernacular types, when enslaved and formerly enslaved peoples started building dwellings near the Mississippi Delta. They really do bring to mind the character of New Orleans.

It doesn't appear that any grain operations are currently happening here. Abilene was grain elevator central; so many for a town of about 6,800. It explains why I didn't make it to Salina, as I spent more time in Abilene than I would have imagined. And it wasn't just grain elevators. While there I spotted five depots, which I will share images of with you in the future.

I'll often hear other film photographers talk about getting more and more people to shoot film. It's essentially proselytizing. Film photographers are becoming like Jehovah's Witnesses. Soon they'll be going door-to-door, "do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior William Eggleston? Here, take our pamphlet."
It sounds like I'm about to complain about all of this, but I don't think I am. I'm not even going to critique it, really. Film photography needs new film photographers to survive.
Sure, we can shoot vintage cameras and expired film long after Leica closes up shop and Kodak shuts down the factory. But eventually all the old cameras will break and all the film will become "fogged" beyond use (yes, even Verichrome!).
For film photography to survive we need new film photographers. We also need companies to scale back production to hobby-like standards and output (but that's a whole 'nuther story).
But (of course there's a 'but') I feel super creepy pushing film photography on someone. Maybe it's a reaction to being raised Evangelical. Maybe I'm a bit too relaxed and nonchalant about my personal preferences.
Essentially, I just can't bring myself to care if you don't want to shoot film. I doesn't effect me even a little bit (for now - see above). If you'd rather shoot digital - hell, even if you want to punch reality in the nuts with your uncanny valley HDR - I really don't care.
I'm not going to preach to someone on the gospel of film. It's such a weird thing to push. It's not drugs or Jesus. It's a hobby (albeit, one that's far superior to drugs and/or Jesus).
The model railroaders don't come 'round here wavin' trains at us! We don't get birders playing bagpipes in our bathroom! Or hikers harmonizing in the hall! The shortwavers don't come here shattering sheet glass in the shithouse, shouting slogans-
Well, you get my point (and I'll stop practicing my alliteration on you).
But if someone comes to me asking about it, I'm more than happy to get them started. Tell them my opinions on starter cameras and my favorite forgiving film for frustrated first-time photographers (sorry). I'll do all that, of course - I'm not a monster.

Historical Marker:
(August 13, 1840 - July 4, 1917) Born in Georgia to Rebecca (Norwood) and William W. Parramore, James Harrison Parramore moved with his family to Gonzales County in 1849. James attended Gonzales College before joining the Confederate Army. He married Mary Jane Goodson in 1866; they began their life together farming 100 acres of land near Gonzales. Parramore formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, Hugh Lewis, that launched their careers as prominent southwestern ranchers. After several years in Runnels County, Parramore bought ten acres west of Hickory Street in Abilene for his large family in 1881. The San Simon Cattle and Canal Company was organized in 1883 by Parramore, Lewis, and Claiborne W. Merchant. The company stocked its vast Arizona and New Mexico ranches with Texas longhorns for twenty years. J. H. Parramore was active in local, state, and national organizations for cattlemen. A member of the board of trustees of Simmons College, he donated $10,000 for a dormitory named Mary-Frances Hall. The home that J. H. Parramore shared with his wife and ten children was located at 810 Orange Street in the area later developed by his heirs as the Parramore addition. A Victorian mansion with French Second Empire details, the home was dismantled in 1960. (1998)
