Boss Tom Pendergast, conflict between incoming Mormons and earlier settlers, and a young female teacher's experience in the 1840s all figure into this rich history of the Kansas City area.Mutti Burke, Diane is the author of 'Kansas City, America's Crossroads : Essays from the Missouri Historical Review, 1906-2006', published 2007 under ISBN 9780962289170 and ISBN 0962289175.
