A History Lover's Guide to Kansas City
Paul Kirkman, "A History Lover's Guide to Kansas City "
English | ISBN: 1467144401 | 2020 | 144 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Kansas City is often seen as a "cow town" with great barbecue and steaks. But it is also a city with more boulevards than Paris and more working fountains than Rome. There are burial mounds that date back more than two thousand years. The National World War I Museum and Memorial, opened in 1926, stands more than two hundred feet tall. Leila's Hair Museum has a collection that brings tourists from all over the nation. The Kansas City Jazz Museum features a historic district and world-class museum that document a time when dance halls, cabarets, speakeasies and even honky-tonks and juke joints fostered the development of a new musical style. Join author Paul Kirkman as he cuts a trail past the stockyards into the heart of America-Kansas City.

A History Lover's Guide to Dallas

A History Lover's Guide to Dallas
Georgette Driscoll, "A History Lover's Guide to Dallas "
English | ISBN: 1467142263 | 2019 | 192 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Don't let the drawl fool you-Dallas boasts a dynamic history full of explosive growth. The cityscape itself seems eager to measure up to the outsized personalities that forged the town's identity. A sixty-seven-and-a-half-foot-tall giraffe statue greets visitors to the Dallas Zoo, while guests exiting the Joule Hotel encounter the gaze of a thirty-foot eyeball. A colossal Pegasus glows above it all from its perch on top of the Magnolia Petroleum building. Subtler storylines also thread their way through the forest of glass and steel, from the jazz of Deep Ellum alleyways to the peaceful paths of the Katy Trail. Author Georgette Driscoll looks beyond the inscriptions for the events that shaped Dallas into the city it is today.

A Fire Bell in the Past The Missouri Crisis at 200, Volume II The Missouri Question and Its Answers (Volume 2)
John Craig Hammond, "A Fire Bell in the Past: The Missouri Crisis at 200, Volume II: "The Missouri Question" and Its Answers (Volume 2) "
English | ISBN: 0826222498 | 2021 | 426 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Many new states entered the United States around 200 years ago, but only Missouri almost killed the nation it was trying to join. When the House of Representatives passed the Tallmadge Amendment banning slavery from the prospective new state in February 1819, it set off a two-year political crisis in which growing northern antislavery sentiment confronted the aggressive westward expansion of the peculiar institution by southerners. The Missouri Crisis divided the U.S. into slave and free states for the first time and crystallized many of the arguments and conflicts that would later be settled violently during the Civil War. The episode was, as Thomas Jefferson put it, "a fire bell in the night" that terrified him as the possible "knell of the Union."
