"This is a wonderful synthesis and excellent piece of scholarship
which is also quite readable from a general reader's perspective.
It should add greatly to a broader understanding of the historical
development of the cities and region. . . . A huge contribution to
the literature of Kansas City's fascinating history."--William S.
Worley, author of J.C. Nichols and the Shaping of Kansas City"A
well-written and readable volume that will be a major asset to the
literature of Kansas City history."--David Boutros, Assistant
Director, State Historical Society of Missouri
"This book can serve multiple readerships. Longtime residents of
the metropolis will surely learn new things from this book and find
new frameworks for understanding details that they already know.
Newcomers will learn even more. Meanwhile, urban historians and
geographers who have known Kansas Ciity only in passing will enjoy,
through close comparison, a great source to study anew the cities
more familiar to them."--Kansas History
