This excerpt of the Kansas Bureau of Labor report includes only Part 12, the portion of the report focusing on the Exodusters in Wyandotte, Kansas. The report includes transcribed testimonies of Exodusters as well as a detailed table showing statistics compiled from seventeen families, including their location, ages, health, and occupations. The report also includes a few references to Exodusters in Topeka.
Creator: Kansas Bureau of Labor
Date: 1886
Students can analyze the appended table to compare and contrast these seventeen families. It is also useful for understanding women's roles, as it is one of the few documents selected for this standard that can be related to women's history. This source would work well with documents about Exodusters' experiences after moving to Kansas.
