The Freemen's Champion was published weekly from June 25, 1857, until September 16, 1858, in Prairie City, Kansas. The paper was started by Salmon Stephen Prouty (1835-1889) in a "far famed tent, erected by the gallant ladies of Prairie City" using the printing press first brought to Kansas in 1834 by the printer-missionary Jotham Meeker.
