The Summer of ‘78: A Town is Born

Growing McCune: 1878 to 1920

Welcome to McCuneStory.com.  This website will share narratives I have created based on my own family’s history in this southeast Kansas farming community. I believe the history of a town is mainly the history of its families. Though some of the text may be fiction, it is mainly based on actual events and individuals. The other main purpose of this website is to share research material I have developed in the process of writing. I hope you will enjoy and benefit from this effort.
