Kansas City: Then & Now

After rejecting proposed names like “Rabbitville” and “Possum Trot,” civic leaders of Missouri’s biggest trading post named their settlement the “Town of Kansas” in honor of the native Kansa Indians. That was then; today, “Town of Kansas” or as it’s better known, Kansas City is said to have more fountains than any city in the world except for Rome. This hardcover book by Darlene Isaacson offers a fascinating chronicle of the history and change of our great city. ThunderBayBooks.com $18.95
