Fans of sports, nature, and weird facts will all find something to love about the home of the Missouri mule. Not to mention the 18th & Vine district of Kansas City!

Including timelines, black-and-white illustrations, and a fact-filled “At a Glance” section, this book has everything you need to know about the heritage, development, and present day of Missouri.
