Introduction to Kansas - The United States of America
__ "In 1822, the Santa Fe
Trail brought hundreds and hundreds of wagons through Kansas, and as the
population grew, Kansas became a state in 1861. Cattle drives and railroads
continued to change the face of the state, and Dodge City became home to the
largest cattle market in the world, gaining notoriety in the process as the
rough and tumbling home to the likes of Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, and Bat
Masterson. Today, cattle, wheat, corn, and soybeans form the base for the
agricultural economy." A lot more found here. - illustrated - From Netstate.com

elevation from east to west. Mile after mile of golden waves highlight Kansas in
the early summer as a reminder that this state is the leading producer of wheat
in the United States. The Wheat State can be divided into three geographic
regions; the Dissected Till Plains in the northeast, the Southeastern Plains
consisting of the Osage Plains and the Flint Hills to the west, and the Great
Plains covering the western half of the state." You can find all the details. -
