Captures the Essence of Kansas

Black and white photos tell the story of Kansas from small towns to wide prairie views. The actual words accompanying the photos come from letters, books and newspapers of the 1800s and early 1900s. The weathered faces of farmers, the alert stance of a coyote, and the graceful arch of an old stone bridge are examples of the photographer's subjects. Here are some that I particularly liked: *A line of limestone fence posts echo the line of the gravel road and the treeless horizon where an old white church is silhouetted against the wide Kansas sky *People sitting on the curb watching a 4th of July parade in a small town *a broken snowfence dissects a snowy prairie scene
