Kansas, a Pictorial HistoryKansas, a Pictorial History

Updated and completely redesigned Kansas: A Pictorial History aims to bring the state's past to life in more than 600 photographs, drawings, and paintings. They are designed to take the reader across the hills and prairies, past the thatched houses in a Kansas 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, the reader visits hundreds of other places and meets the people - both famous and infamous - who helped shape the state's history.
