A run through the graves of Ames. A search for bones — and answers — on the Kansas prairie. An eggnog recipe achieves heirloom and celebrity status in Little Rock, and a biscuit baroness gets her due in Columbia, Missouri (or does she?). Haunting and tender, Issue 18 tends to the stories of the Lower Midwest.
Two features in this issue – "Passing on the Nog-Off" and "Annie Fisher's Ghost" — were shortlist nominees for the 2026 James Beard Awards in Journalism.
