Customer Reviews

Great history of a "cowtown" that offers so much more.

This is a great way to learn about the development of a great city that few non-residents give much attention to. If you are a resident or just interested in the area, this book offers a way to understand the reasons why things are the way they are. With chapters divided by years it can be read from cover to cover as a developing story or used as quick reference for specific periods.

Book Review

Excellent book. I actually bought this book after glancing through someone else's copy that was a gift. I already had a dvd about Kansas City as told by some its oldest residents that I thought this book was a good read to go along with great video and personal accounts and I was right.
