Review
"Every once in a while an authentic jewel of a book comes along that makes me want to shout to the world: Read this! You'll love it! I hereby so shout that about Home on the Range. It is a beautifully written story of a people and a place that is really about us all. It is a jewel that should be treasured and shared."--Jim Lehrer, The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour "This is not history from the bottom up, but from the inside out--life on the High Plains experienced viscerally, then reflected on shrewdly; a rare combination of emotion and analysis. He gives us a whole way of life simultaneously being lived and being lost."--Garry Wills, author of Lincoln at Gettysburg

From the Back Cover
'This book is a mixture of fond memories and factual nuggets that prove Kansas is an appealing, rather remarkable place by any standard. It is of course a microcosm of American, the bittersweet story of a journey to the stars and its many detours and visits to the ditch.'--Kansas City Star
