Inhaltsangabe

Get ready to rethink everything you knew about the Civil War. Did you know it was on the prairies of Kansas where the first shots in America's greatest conflict were fired? That it was Missouri where African-American soldiers first marched into battle? Those are just two of many surprising finds you'll make when you explore the Missouri-Kansas Border Region with this guide, designed by a historian and a journalist who have traveled every mile of this contentious border. Since it was first published in 2013, The Big Divide Travel Guide has made its way into thousands of glove boxes and travel bags. Inside this completely updated edition you'll find themed driving tours, over 130 recommended sites, suggestions for kids and parents, maps, and the insights of two experienced road trippers. Revised second edition.
