The Republican River

The Republican River rises in Colorado and flows along the Nebraska-Kansas border until it reaches Fort Riley, Kansas. Those from blue coastal precincts see this, accurately, as the mysterious middle of red America. Beyond the caricatures and stereotypes created in the national media, most blue staters know little about Midwestern politics. This book is a perfect visitor's guide for those who decide not to fly over but drive through the agrarian heart of the country.
