Historic Street Scenes of Kansas City, Missouri 1867-1931

Compiled by Ray Elder, Historian of the KC Fire Historical Society, Historic Street Scenes of Kansas City, Missouri 1867-1931 is a collection of photographs that have not been seen in over 100 Years. The book idea was born when Joseph D. Galetti, a retired Fire Captain of the Kansas City Fire Department, asked what could be done with about 100 old photographs that belonged to his great grandfather Val B. Mintun. In reviewing the photographs it was positive this was a small treasure of historical photographs of Kansas City, Missouri. It was suggested to Mr. Galetti the possibility of the photographs being published in book form, he readily agreed and so this book began. This hardbound book is 11 by 8.5 inches; and contains 72 pages of historic street scenes of Kansas City.
