Tell Us a Good Lie and Other Chetopa Tales by Janis Saket Pdf

My family could have been the prototype for a '50's TV sitcom. So it was quite a surprise to hear my 87-year-old father swapping recollections with his 82-yearold brother about all the wild adventures they'd had growing up during the '20's and '30's in the small southeast Kansas town of Chetopa. Relatives I'd only heard about now became colorful characters with a whole spectrum of eccentricities. The yarns were wild and so, apparently, were my relatives! I wrote down their tales and spun the stories just as they'd swapped them. Dad swears they are all true! So this is where and WHO I come from!

Kansas's War by Pearl T. Ponce Pdf

When the Civil War broke out in April 1861, Kansas was in a unique position. It had been a state for mere weeks, and already its residents were intimately acquainted with civil strife. Kansas's War illuminates the new state's main preoccupations: the internal struggle for control of policy and patronage; border security; and issues of race--especially efforts to come to terms with the burgeoning African American population and Native Americans' coninuing claims to nearly one-fifth of the state's land. These documents demonstrate how politicians, soldiers, and ordinary Kansans were transformed by the war.
