Kansans like to think of their state as a land of industrious, law-abiding and friendly people, and for the most part they are correct.Kansas history has many tales of murders, cons, extrajudicial killings and other crimes. Its restive frontier attracted menacing characters, such as a cowboy who murdered a man for snoring, the serial-killing Bender family and the train-robbing James-Younger Gang. Although the area was eventually settled, the scandals did not cease. Learn about how a quack doctor nearly won the governorship, a decommissioned nuclear missile silo housed the largest LSD manufacturing operation in American history and more. Author Adrian Zink explores the salacious side of Kansas history in these wild and degenerate stories.
Exciting, quick bursts of information. I skipped around, but eventually went back and read the whole. Great book to have if you’re a Kansas or KC, MO native, but could fun for history buffs planning a vacation to the wheat state.Buy a copy or get your local library add one to their shelves. A great gift for dads.
