"Historical Atlas of Kansas" by Homer E. Socolofsky and Huber Self, from my personal research library. Hardcover with protected dust jacket. Approximately 175 pages. Numerous state maps with descriptions of topical interest throughout. At the rear: extensive References & Index. First edition, fine. $20 plus $2.50 postage. Paypal, USPS money order or personal check. Shipping to CONUS.
While the "place called Kansas" was originally the home of certain Indian tribes, the earliest recorded histories of the state are chronicles of journeys across it. Adventurers, traders and pioneers crossed Kansas on the way to the Rocky Mountains, on the way to California, on the way to Oregon, and on the way to the Spanish settlements of the Southwest. The lay of the land and its character and use, the travel routes, the location of population concentrations, and the gradual unfolding of economic and political development -- all are shown on the many maps in this book.
