Kansas: A Pictorial History

Chock-full of cultural contrast and captivating characters, Kansas history just can't be expressed in words alone. But the state's best pictorial history has been out of print for more than a decade.

Now updated and completely redesigned, Kansas: A Pictorial History brings the state's past to life in more than 600 fascinating photographs, drawings, and paintings. They will take you across the hills and prairies, past the thatched houses in a Kansa village, by the abolitionist "Beecher Bible and Rifle" Church, down the Santa Fe Trail, up the Chisholm Trail, and across a river on a rope ferry for a nickel (five cents more if you bring your horse). On the way, you'll visit hundreds of other places and meet the people--both famous and infamous--who helped shape the state's history.
