"There's no nowhere anymore." With these words, a science professor played by John Lithgow in the 1983 television film The Day After dismissed the idea that America's "heartland" might be spared a nuclear attack because of its distance from the capital and the coasts. In its own mythology, the heartland is a place isolated from the outside world but also held to represent the unchanging essence at the nation's core. In reality, few places were as profoundly shaped by the global trends of the Cold War as the Midwestern United States.

Far from being confined to the margins, the region occupied a central place in the Cold War, and the global conflict had a profound impact on the people, environment, economy, and culture of the heartland. The region was the birthplace of four of the nine US presidents who served during the Cold War and the site of Winston Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech. Its farmland became the backdrop for the first visit of a Soviet leader to the United States, and its farmers depended on selling grain to the Soviet Union even as they expressed their distaste for Soviet socialism. The region's landscape was transformed by the construction of new military bases, which became integral to its economy, and Kansas at one time was home to more intercontinental missile sites that any other state in the nation.

After Lawrence, Kansas was chosen as the location for The Day After to depict the devastating impact of a potential nuclear war on a heartland city, its streets and residents were shown in millions of homes across the country. Around the same time, the home of the University of Kansas also hosted Soviet track and field athletes and the Soviet national basketball team. The Cold War also impacted the region in less visible-but no less important-ways, with nuclear tests and labs affecting the population and natural environment, their effects lingering to this day.

Trails of Hope: Overland Diaries and Letters, 1846-1869 is a collection of the original writings of 49 voyagers on the Mormon, California, Oregon, and Montana trails who wrote while traveling on the trail. Some diarists speak with uncommon eloquence and others with maddening brevity, while telling their stories of persistence and pain, birth and death, God and gold, dust and debris, bugs and buffalo, love and laughter, and trail tedium.

Accompanying the original diary images and their searchable transcripts are 43 contemporary maps; seven trail guides; 82 photographs, watercolors and art sketches; four essays on the Mormon and California trails, maps and trail guides; suggested readings for further discovery; and brief biographies of 45 of the 49 diarists.

Kansas City in the Jazz Age & Great Depression

Kansas City women-members of the Athenaeum, the Woman's City Club, and other organizations-sought to assert power in their community and beyond. Coming from Republican and independent Democratic backgrounds, and abhorring the influence of the Democratic machine, they embraced a progressive spirit that revered what they envisioned as good government.

For nearly a decade and a half between 1925-1939, political boss Thomas J. Pendergast (or simply "Boss Tom"), an unelected dealmaker and leader of the "goat" Democratic faction that had long rivaled Shannon's "rabbits," consolidated control of Kansas City's machine politics and ruled Kansas City's government and criminal underworld with impunity.
