Kansas History
 Bust to Boom : Documentary
Photographs of Kansas, 1936-1949
Kansans of the 1930s and 1940s
lived through more sweeping changes than any other generation past or present.
Destructive forces of nature, an economy gone awry, and a devastating--and
ironically, economically renewing--war left the world irrevocably altered. In
this captivating collection, some of America's best-known documentary
photographers provide a valuable glimpse into that tumultuous time.

Faded
Dreams : More Ghost Towns of Kansas
Like hundreds of towns across
Kansas, Palermo peaked then petered, leaving behind only a faded image of its
former self. Now it's a ghost town--a shadowy remnant of what it once was, says
Daniel Fitzgerald. Some ghost towns are completely gone, he says, while others
remain as abandoned ruins or foundations. Some even have small populations and
community spirit, but none are the bustling sites they once were. All are towns
that time has passed by.

of the personalities who kept life interesting in Sheridan - a wild little town
that popped up at end-of-track when the railroad ran out of money - and
disappeared overnight when construction crews moved on.

and Living on the Kansas Prairie : A Diary

 Pioneer Women : Voices from the Kansas
Frontier
From a rediscovered collection of priceless
autobiographical accounts written by hundreds of pioneer women, Joanna Stratton
has made a remarkable and widely celebrated book. Never before has there been
such a detailed record of women's courage, such a living portrait of the women
who civilized the American frontier. Here are their stories: wilderness
mothers, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit
riders. Their personal recollections of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy
shootouts, Indian raids, and blizzards on the plains vividly reveal the drama,
danger and excitement of the pioneer experience.
