Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"Bleeding Kansas" has earned its name. A state already scarred from the violence wrought by the likes of John Brown and William Quantrill, Kansas witnessed further episodes of wanton bloodshed in the late nineteenth century when settlers poured into a supposedly peaceful frontier.
"Bleeding Kansas" has earned its name. A state already scarred from the violence wrought by the likes of John Brown and William Quantrill, Kansas witnessed further episodes of wanton bloodshed in the late nineteenth century when settlers poured into a supposedly peaceful frontier.
Focusing on the tumultuous years 1885-1892, Robert K. DeArment's compelling narrative is the first to reveal the complete story of the county seat wars that raged in Kansas--controversial episodes that made national news in the late 1900s but are largely unknown today.
Gripping and historically accurate, DeArment's account reveals a shocking chapter in the history of the West.
About the Author
Robert K. DeArment is the author of numerous books about law and order in the American West, including Deadly Dozen: Twelve Forgotten Gunfighters of the Old West. Richard Maxwell Brown is the author of the award-winning No Duty to Retreat.
