• Arrival... It seemed to young Williana Hickman
  that a terrible scene of desolation mocked her
  once hopeful anticipation of arriving in the
  "Promised Land" of northwest Kansas. As an old
  woman many years later, she recollected  her
  feelings upon first spotting Nicodemus in spring
  1878... "When we got in sight of Nicodemus the
  men shouted, "There is Nicodemus!" Being very
  sick, I hailed this news with gladness. I looked
  with all the eyes I had. I said, "Where is
  Nicodemus? I don't see it." My husband pointed
  out various smokes coming out of the ground and
  said, "That is Nicodemus." The families lived in
  dugouts.... The scenery was not at all inviting,
  and I began to cry."
