About This Item
From the DJ flap: "For more than 150 years, Independence, Missouri, has been making history. It was a starting point for pioneers headed west, a Civil War battleground, a significant religious site to followers of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith and best known as the hometown of that plain-speaking president, Harry Truman."
"But the Community is something more than its past. This stunning photographic book of Independence looks at life in a community that twice has been selected an All-America City by the National Municipal Leause."
"This book captures the spirit of Independence - it's past present and future."
Beautiful photographs with descriptions. This is a tall, but thin book that would make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves Independence, Missouri.

Potts (whose sentiments appear on page 47, and who published the book). There is also a gold and blue "The Best of Kansas City" sticker. Clean and tight.
