Images of America - Early Kansas City, Missouri by Leigh Ann Little and John M. OlinskeyIn 1821, Francois Chouteau set up a fur-trading outpost along the Missouri River, bringing the first settlement of Europeans to what would become Kansas City, named after the Kansa tribe of Native Americans who inhabited the area. At the center of a growing nation, the "City on the Bluff" would build and thrive as a river town, a gateway to the West, and a railroad hub, absorbing the influences of pioneers and immigrants traveling through or making it their home.This paperback book is in good condition with slight imperfections to the cover and pages in good condition.ISBN 10: 0738590967 / ISBN 13: 9780738590967Publisher: Arcadia PublishingPublication Date: 2013
