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.

Kansas: A Land of Contrasts

Now in its fourth edition, the singular text of Kansas history for the last twenty-four years, Dr. Robert W. Richmond's Kansas: A Land of Contrast remains the classic survey of the Kansas story. The political and economic aspects of the state's development are fully covered, but in this latest revision there is a greater emphasis on social history, with artists, writers, and athletes sharing the stage with politicians, industrialists, and explorers. As in previous editions, Richmond includes ample quotations from documents of the period to convey a first-hand impression of the times. These colorful and often humorous anecdotes pepper the text with distinctive detail and make it a true pleasure to read. The bibliographic readings at the end of each chapter have been extensively updated. The text is also profusely illustrated, with many images new to this edition.
