About This Item
Cedar Rapids, Iowa: The Torch Press, 1910. First Edition. Octavo. Portrait frontispiece, 542pp, This is the first effort, it is believed, to make any serious study of the conditions prevailing on the border. The state of society about Lawrence as shown in the year 1860 may be accepted as representative of the general conditions found in Kansas up to the Civil War, and no attempt to describe them has been found. The story of the border war covers ten years and shows a wealth of incidents, stifling adventures, hair breadth escape, deadly encounters, individual vengeance, relentless desolation of towns and communities, and bloody murder, no other part of America can compare with it. A handsome copy bound in red cloth, lettered and stamped in gilt, spine lettering gilt, contains a very informative index, previous owner's name.
