MCKAY, JOHN A.(proprietor). Broadside from The Medicine Lodge Hotel, John A. McKay, Proprietor - Rates, $1.50 Per Day. c1885. Medicine Lodge, Kansas. “Index Print” Barber County Index. Broadside likely hung inside and at the entrance of The Medicine Lodge Hotel during the town earliest days of the fabled Medicine Lodge. Medicine Lodge, known for the 1867 Plains Nations peace treaty signed there was first incorporated in 1879. The Texas cattle trade of this time had a strong influence in Medicine Lodge and businesses that catered to that market; drover’s stores, boot shops, and hotels and even saloons and gambling houses were changing the pioneer villages. McKay seems to make an effort in this broadside to keep his Hotel a classier location. The main body is a list of rules, behavioral expectations, laws. Advertisements with their own ornate fonts cater to incoming land seekers and business people. Medicine Lodge also was subject to several Indian raids and the Marshal Gang Bank Robbery in 1884. Printed by the republican-party newspaper of the town, which started printing in 1880 published this in a very classic western format. Unrecorded Imprint. 10.5” x 5”. One stain running along right side, text bright and legible.
