Titled by its distance from St. Louis, 309 miles west, this stereograph shows a public school in Leavenworth, Kansas, a town on the Missouri River that had grown quickly since its founding in the mid-1850s. The card is No. 55 in a numbered series issued in 1867 by Gardner's Photographic Art Gallery in Washington, part of a set of views tied to the Union Pacific Railway's Eastern Division. Stereo views like this were meant to be seen through a stereoscope, so that a viewer far away could feel almost present on a street in a frontier town.
