The Federal District Court of Kansas came into existence in 1861 when the US Congress admitted Kansas as a state. Born from the territorial judges who maintained the federal legal presence in the tumultuous terrain of "Bleeding Kansas," the Federal District Court grew from a single judge to a complex system of judges who are the entry point in Kansas into the federal judicial system. Justice on the Prairie: 150 Years of the Federal District Court of Kansas traces the history of the court through generations of district judges, the prominent cases of their tenure, and the opinions they issued that sometimes had profound effect on the laws of the nation. It also profiles the modern court, including federal bankruptcy and magistrate judges. Finally, the book colorfully describes the history of the "Palaces of Justice," e Kansas courthouses, whose architecture and art reflected the times in which they were built.

Produced by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce in celebration of its 125th anniversary, this is the story of metropolitan Kansas City and the people and businesses that built it. In the early days, the leaders of Kansas City strove to get the attention of any railroad that would lay tracks to their tiny town. When its first big heyday arrived in 1887, business leaders formed the predecessor of today's Chamber of Commerce. They worked to keep their booming city growing and to improve the quality of its peoples' lives. As the years rolled on, Greater Kansas City grew in size and changed in shape. Along the way, Greater Kansas City - its businesses and its people - faced strife and storm, fire and flood, panic and depression. Every time, those same businesses and people picked themselves up and kept their hometown moving and growing and changing. Written by Kansas City historian Monroe Dodd and designed by Jean Dodd, this 300-page book includes this fascinating history, plus profiles from 45 Chamber members detailing each of their own pasts.
