About
Lying in the heart of the United States, Kansas is a sprawling landscape of rolling prairies and rugged hills. Readers will learn how the state was first settled thousands of years ago by ancient Paleo-Indians and find out how it came to be part of the United States. They will also explore the rich and varied culture of modern Kansas, from the crowded streets of Kansas City to the rural farms of the Great Plains. This revised third edition takes an updated look at the geography, history, government, people, culture, and attractions of Kansas.
