The Names Of Kansas.

I would be the first too admit I know very little about my own States history, even though I have lived here all my life, one should be a little ashamed for not knowing some of your own States history. Kansas is a great State, and full of rich history, but I know little of it.
Oh, I know about the cattle drives and the old west towns and the outlaws and the famous marshals but beyond that very little. I guess a lot of it has to do with the way other people look at us from the outside and say; “Why go to Kansas there’s nothing there and it so flat.” or “ I won’t go there , there’s all those tornados.” or this one; “Oh you mean the land of OZ.”

I find myself defending my State to those outsiders and yes even to some who live here, so with that and with the bad rap we get from TV, and the News, I just didn’t think people would be interested in Kansas. But I know I’m wrong in that thinking, as there are thousands in Kansas and outsiders that are very interested in it’s rich history. That is why I have decided to do a few page on this great State, not only will I learn something I hope others will too.
