Message from the Publisher
Brian Rodehorst
Mission: To celebrate the good and positive in Topeka, KS with a beautiful coffee table worthy publication.
Inspiriation: "Topeka Pen and Camera Sketches" by Miss Mary E. Jackson. She says it best in her book from 1890, "I have endeavored, in placing this book before the public, to give to strangers some knowledge of our 'Golden City', and to present something of interest to our own citizens as well."
Feedback: I hear time and again with amazement, "I didn't know that was in Topeka!".
My Hope: Our stories will inspire all Topekans to be proud of where they live.
