This review is from: Kansas (Celebrate the States, Set 8) (Library Binding)

Kansas (a series of 8 books, theme: Celebrate the States) is a nice little piece (140 pages) of nonfiction on the State of Kansas. Small and concise, it covers a lot of ground for its size. Sharp and well-written (author - Ruth Bjorklund) it presents many of the highlights that make Kansas such an interesting state. I was especially intrigued with the mention of Monument Rocks (near Oakley) and the post rock fences in central Kansas. All in all, it's a good read for those interested in history and the background of the state.

This review is from: Kansas (Celebrate the States, Set 8) (Library Binding)

Kansas displays a writing technique, which is concise, but yet not so that it doesn't allow the author's comments to create a side line interest to over ride any thoughts of becoming bored by reading historical nonfiction.

It certainly does the job of describing Kansas from its beginning to the present day.
