"Olson paints a clear and delightful word picture of how Manhattan came to be and how it grew. The book will undoubtedly become a classic."-- David Dary , author of True Tales of Old-Time Kansas "A fascinating picture of life in the city from its founding as an anti-slavery stronghold to its social and economic transformation into a quiet Midwestern college town. An important contribution."-- James Sherow , Mayor of Manhattan and author of The Grasslands of the United States "An outstanding history based on extensive and original research. The look and feel of early Manhattan and its people come through very strongly."-- Craig Miner , author of Kansas: The History of the Sunflower State, "A lively and well-researched study."Kansas History "Olson has penned a lively history of Manhattans founding that illuminates the divisive forces that had to be overcome amidst the turbulence of the Civil War era and the drama of building a town from scratch on the Great Plains frontier."Topeka Capital-Journal "Kevin Olson has fashioned an exceptionally thorough account of the first decades of Manhattan, Kansas-the Little Apple. In a significant way, Olson chronicles the development of the city through the lives of Isaac and Ellen. With excellent research and clear writing, Olson gives a fascinating, detailed picture of life in Manhattan from its founding as an anti-slavery stronghold called Boston to its social and economic transformation into a quiet Midwestern college town, one governed by political moderates."Manhattan Mercury "This well-written study utilizes a wealth of primary documentation to authenticate the transformation of a small community into a thriving city that still pays homage to its Yankee roots."Choice, Olson paints a clear and delightful word picture of how Manhattan came to be and how it grew.
