This mural is roughly 15 ft. wide and 10 ft. high and depicts William "Cannonball" Greene driving his famous stage between Kingman and Pratt. In the early days of settlement before there were major roads, William Greene founded a stage line from Kingman on to Pratt and Greensburg and points west. The stageline eventually had 70 stages with 1000 employees and operated for approximately 4 years before the railroads finally opened lines west from Wichita. Greene was an expert horseman and was known to drive his stages at full speed but delivered his pasengers safely and on time. Greene founded the town of Greensburg, KS and was the first state represenative from Kiowa county. Even today, oldtimers still refer to the highway west of Kingman as the "Cannonball".
