At the river's bend: An illustrated history of Kansas City : Independence and Jackson County ReviewThis is the best general pictorial history of KC that I know of. If you are more interested in KC history generally speaking this book will do just fine. There are, of course, a few other fine relatively modern histories of KC - esp Theodore Brown's. But there are none that I know of that are remotely so well illustrated. The book "KC Style" is infinitely better if it is older KC architecture you are after. But KC Style is also considerably more expensive. Erlich's Architecural History of KC is, of course, the textbook on the subject from start to finish. But it IS a textbook and not a coffee table conversation piece. If it is KC's glory days you are interested in seeing, "KC Style" is worth every penny. But be prepared to see a KC lost to time and to neglect...as well as the morbid cupidity and flatulence of local fat cat real estate developers. Oh well, at least Union Station was ultimately saved from the jaws (almost the gullet) of Canada's Trizec Properties... albeit LONG after aggressive action should have been taken by the torpid KC powers that be.At the river's bend: An illustrated history of Kansas City : Independence and Jackson County Overview
