Bloody Kansas: A Saga of the WestAfter the Civil War, seven veterans migrate to Kansas to start new lives. These are their stories of battling Indians, the hardships and loneliness of developing farms, the perils and ingenuity of building a cattle ranch, and the dangers faced by townspeople. Settling the state with its numerous Indian tribes was no picnic, as these stories depict. |
