There are some facts about the Sunflower State many people don’t know. Although the author of the newly released book, “Secret Kansas: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure,” lives in Goodland, she has traveled throughout the state finding out about an insect museum, the first airplane that didn’t fly and the 1879 tornado that might have inspired “The Wizard of Oz.” “I like to find out little stories that people don’t know about,” said Roxie Yonkey, the author of “Secret Kansas.” “And I get to the joy of finding out this secret, like whoever knew this.”
