The fourteen articles in this anthology, previously published in the Missouri Historical Review, examine multiple facets of Kansas City's history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beginning with events prior to the settlement of the area, the essays describe important episodes in the social, economic, racial, and political life of Kansas City. Boss Tom Pendergast, conflict between incoming Mormons and earlier settlers, and a young female teacher's experience in the 1840s all figure into this rich history of the Kansas City area.

This anthology comprises two collections of short stories, “Extraordinaries and Eschatologies” and “Why God Made the World.” These thirty-eight stories have never been published before as collections, although many of them have been published individually. In discussing “Extraordinaries and Eschatologies,” Dr. Nathan stated that he hoped this collection would have special appeal to readers of short fiction because the stories are unconventional and varied. Many of the stories use satire to advance their themes. The style of writing communicates quickly, avoiding long descriptions that barely advance the story line.
