Let's go time traveling! Through the magic of history, we'll relive the events that created the place we call home. We'll return to the days of the fur trappers, the riverboat captains, the cowpunchers and the railroad workers - all men and women, boys and girls who built Kansas City and the area around it. We wrote this book in brief stories. Together with hundreds of photographs, these stories tell the history of the Kansas City area. As each chapter begins, the scene is set by a Time Traveler who wraps the threads of history together and brings them context and meaning. We hope this book will help you understand how Kansas City became what it is today - and prepare you for the city of the future.
