About this book

Book Summary

History does not have to be boring.

It should be more than memorizing dates and who won what battle. Of course, those are important, but I believe history can come alive when you know your ancestors' stories, which can be found in our cemeteries.

Have you ever wondered what happened to those early day pioneers of Dodge City? You might be surprised to learn that many of them are buried in the Dodge City cemeteries!! Take a trip back in time to relive those days.
