Synopsis

"It is my hope that Kansas Revisited: Historical Images and Perspectives will provide a sense of the people, times, issues, and places that help make the Kansas experience meaningful. State and local history is important in understanding one's culture and roots and in developing a sense of community and shared responsibility... I hope that those who 'revisit' Kansas in these pages will gain a better appreciation for Kansas history and for the diversity of our culture and its people." - from the preface by Paul K. Stuewe. "During the eight years since Kansas Revisited first appeared, facets of the state;s history have been told and retold in an assortment of fine scholarly books and articles. This volume alone, however, continues to fill a critical void in the literature by offering an outstanding selection of readings spanning the entire scope of the state's nearly 150-year history. In this revised edition, which incorporates some of the best of the new scholarship, Paul Stuewe has retained twenty of his original selections and added nine new essays, one of which, Charles E. Krider and Norman Clifford's 'The Kanas Economy,' was written especially for this fine anthology. Kansas Revisited is an enjoyable read, and it should continued to appeal to the general public as well as to teachers and students of Kansas history." - Virgil W. Dean, editor, Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains
