Reader Reviews
This book reads more like a few index cards collected at the KU library than it does a real state history. Instead of any detail of the OK Corral shootout in Dodge City (or any other history of Kansas west of Salina) we get three mentions of the KU basketball team. In another example, the author mentions the "Wakarusa War" in passing at least four times before briefly explaining it later in the book, with the author presumably assuming all of us are familiar with the river that runs near Lawrence. The author explains in the preface that a "literal collection of history would be a paperweight" and instead gives us a meandering narrative with few actual examples, ironically making this a paperweight for everyone else. The state of Kansas deserves a better documented history than a transcript of two KU basketball fans discussing the history of the northeast corner of the state.
