Post Rock Limestone Tale Earns Praise and Critique
A review of Land of the Post Rock by Grace Muilenburg and Ada Swineford notes strong factual depth on the limestone region of Central and North Central Kansas and its building legacy. The book, while rich in history geology and geography, is criticized for overlong attribution and turgid prose, leaving readers seeking more engaging storytelling. The work remains a solid reference for locations like Barnard Wilson Reservoir Beloit Lincoln and Victoria and towns Ada Glen Elder Paradise and Sylvan Grove.
