Let a historian and a journalist take you on a guided tour of the Missouri-Kansas border region. Discover ... -- the African-American soldiers who were the first to die for their freedom (months before the 54th Massachusetts of Glory fame took up arms) -- the ferocious battle to keep Missouri in the Union, with dueling governments, flags, and armies -- how the Civil War shaped future outlaw Jesse James -- and future president Harry Truman But The Big Divide is much bigger than a war. The authors take you to dozens of one-of-a-kind wonders, from the majestic Flint Hills of Kansas to historic Arrow Rock, Missouri ... from the sunken steamboat recovered after 130 years to the homes of pathbreaking Americans like Amelia Earhart and George Washington Carver ... and so much more. Trip planning is easy with this guide, which is packed with themed driving tours, kid-friendly sites, and tips from two experienced history travelers. Take a ride on The Big Divide!
