Welcome to Land of "Ahs!"
-- KANSAS!
Getting off the "beaten track" in
Kansas can lead to a number of great
destinations, a wealth of
history, and a number of fascinating
tales and legends.
From the wild and wooly
cowtowns of
Kansas
to the
"Bleeding
Kansas" days prior to the
Civil War,
Native American legacies and
the Overland Trails,
Kansas
is an exciting place for the history buff
and features numerous museums and historical sites commemorating its
heritage.
For those looking for
scenery and wildlife, travelers will be happy to know that
Kansas
provides
nine scenic byways, six nature reserves, and more than two dozen state
parks.
While
Kansas
provides much more than the typical traveler might
anticipate, Legends of
Kansas
focuses primarily on the state's rich
history, its legends and tales, out of the way places, and every little nook and
cranny that
Kansans call home.
Working with several historic books, including: Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State
History published in 1912 and History of the State of Kansas,
published in 1883; we endeavor to provide both the history and the
updates of these many locations. Much of the information will come
directly from these books and many of the stories have already been
published on our parent site, Legends of America.
Legends of Kansas; however, digs deeper than what we offer on our
larger site, providing yet more glimpses into
Kansas' places, people,
and history.
This will be a long-time "work-in-the-making," and we hope you will
watch as we grow.
Dodge City,
in
Ford County,
