Nicknamed the "world's breadbasket," the great state of Kansas leads our nation in wheat production; has given us leaders in politics (Dwight D. Eisenhower); aviation (Amelia Earhart); and sports (Wilt Chamberlain); and fuels our Hollywood image of the Wild West (Dodge City).

"S is for Sunflower" explores the broad plain of history and people that make up the state of Kansas from A-Z.
