Where the West Begins - America's Plains and Prairies by Karen Kent

Where the West Begins - America's Plains and Prairies by Karen Kent - For some the West begins as you cross the Mississippi River. For many others the West is just a step away into a land of myth and legend full of vast prairies and plains, seas of billowing grass, and wide-open landscapes covered by millions of grazing buffalo and peopled by numerous Indian nations. This book, with over 130 full color photographs, and text by a native daughter of the prairies, portrays the diversity of the American Great Plains – in both its landscape and its people.  New, hard cover.
