hasn’t wondered about the meaning or origin of the names of many of our cities and

Indian languages, reflect the hope or earthy humor of early settlers, or ring with the
energy of entrepreneurs.

the infamous Kansas City Massacre and became the first criminal ever shot down by agents
of that fledgling agency which would soon become the FBI.
