Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Kansas City: Together With a Sketch of the Commercial Resources of the Country With Which It Is Surrounded
The writer believes that the causes leading to the development of the city in any one epoch of her history were but the development of causes in a preceeding epoch, and that the causes of future development exist at this time, which are as much the outgrowth of past causes as the present large city is the outgrowth of past events. Some effort has been made to bring to view these causes both past and present, it is hoped not without some success.
As it is, it is respectfully submitted to public criticism, with the hope that its accounts and conceptions of things may coincide with the recollections of those of our citizens who were witnesses of many of the events it recounts, yet with the fear that they will find much that for accuracy's sake they could wish altered.
