The Civil War on the Lower Kansas-Missouri Border

Meer over het boek

The Civil War on the Lower Kansas-Missouri Border describes several episodes in southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas that have previously been little noted, such as the sacking of Humboldt, Kansas. It also examines more prominent events, such as the Battle of Carthage, which fall within the book's geographic limits. Finally, it details the lives of colorful figures like Confederate colonel John T. Coffee, who operated along the southern portion of the mutual border but whose stories have been scarcely told.
