Description: True Tales of Kansas, Kansas, Forgotten Tales, Paperback True Tales of Kansas offers the historic, never-before-heard stories that make the state what it is. The historic tales of the Sunflower State and its people are as interesting as the days are long. A pair of brothers went from making airplanes to tractors and soon became part of John Deere. Kansan Captain Donald K. Ross won the first Congressional Medal of Honor at Pearl Harbor. The first telephone exchange in the area was invented by a Mr. Strowger because a rival funeral director had a girlfriend who was an operator for the local telephone company and kept sending his business to her friend. Nannie Jones, who stood up to Jim Crow racism and won her case in court, is memorialized by a headstone in Highland Cemetery. Author Roger Ringer details these stories and more.
