In this collection authors have taken a journalistic approach to "Lost Community" research. By creating short articles, they accessibly highlight the hidden histories of small Kansas communities—including a county seat war that caused a hole in a courthouse to the role helium had in building a town.

Please enjoy learning about the interesting, fun, and sometimes strange history of Kansas!

Please note that due to the brevity of these articles full citations have not been used, however readers are directed to the location of sources used by the author.
