Book Review,
This review is from: Kansas City : An American Story (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great history of a "cowtown" that offers so much more.,
By Lisa Robert (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kansas City : An American Story (Hardcover)
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.
