Kansas (a series of 8 books, theme: Celebrate the States) is a nice little piece (140 pages) of nonfiction on the State of Kansas.Small and concise, it covers a lot of ground for its size.Sharp and well-written (author - Ruth Bjorklund) it presents many of the highlights that make Kansas such an interesting state.I was especially intrigued with the mention of Monument Rocks (near Oakley) and the post rock fences in central Kansas.All in all, it's a good read for those interested in history and the background of the state.

I feel now that I know Kansas
Kansas displays a writing technique, which is concise, but yet not so that it doesn't allow the author's comments to create a side line interest to over ride any thoughts of becoming bored by reading historicalnonfiction.

It certainly does the job of describing Kansas from itsbeginning to the present day. ... Read more
