About this item

The third series of America the Beautiful is back in a revised edition. The books in this series are bursting with fascinating facts, updated statistics, and brand-new full-color photographs. America the Beautiful's dynamic design and editorial approach to the geography, history, people, economy, and government of each state will continue to make this award-winning series the one that students turn to first for researching school assignments. Lying in the heart of the United States, Kansas is a sprawling landscape of rolling prairies and rugged hills. Readers will learn how the state was first settled thousands of years ago by ancient Paleo-Indians and find out how it came to be part of the United States. They will also explore the rich and varied culture of modern Kansas, from the crowded streets of Kansas City to the rural farms of the Great Plains.
