THE WORLD'S LARGEST
HAND-DUG WELL
Greensburg, Kansas
The well was completed in 1888, a gigantic excavation, 32
feet in diameter and 109 feet deep, cased with a wall of na-
tive stone to prevent caving in. The stone was hauled 12
miles from the Medicine River, over roads that were little
better than cattle trails.
