From Wichita to the Wailing Wall: The Art of David Israel Litan features original works of art reflecting the artist’s Jewish faith and his pride as a Kansan.
David Israel Litan was an oilman, but art was his passion and his gift. His lithographs portraying scenes of Kansas and aspects of Jewish life sold widely throughout the Sunflower State during his lifetime, most of which was spent in Wichita.
Major funding for programs at the Kansas City Public Library is provided by a generous grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

Historian Bud Bowie looks at economic miscalculations by Confederate President Jefferson Davis and other Southerners that in effect doomed their cause even as it was winning on the battlefield.
Foremost among these was the belief that the North would never risk ruining the immensely important cotton trade by waging war on secessionist states.
Bowie is a professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth.
