This card shows a monument to Major Ogden near Fort Riley, Kansas, 420 miles west of St. Louis. It is number 103 in a set documenting the Union Pacific Railway's Eastern Division as the line pushed west, and its 1867 date places it as the rails were reaching the Kansas frontier. Stereo cards like this were viewed through parlor viewers, letting armchair travelers see the plains in depth. The catalog's subject headings instead cite wartime damage in Charleston, South Carolina, which does not match the title and should be read with caution.
