Review
"A fine collection. Dean has assembled an all-star lineup and the [subjects] chosen for inclusion make up a broad range of interesting and significant characters who reflect a sense of the diversity of Kansas culture and the sweep of the state's history.... The chapters are uniformly well written and will whet readers' appetites for reading more deeply in Kansas biography." - Annals of Iowa "An engaging foray into Kansas history and a model anthology in style and format that adds significantly to the historiography of Kansas and the Great Plains." - South Dakota History "Miniature biographies of the prominent and near-prominent who have impacted Kansas history.... Executed flawlessly." - Kansas History "A readable, useful, concise commentary on, about, and for Kansans." - Western Historical Quarterly"
