Synopsis

This work, now offered to the public, has been written amid all the inconveniences of tent life. I ts pages were penned during a three months residence of the authoress in the United States Camp, at Lecompton, with her husband, one of the state prisoners. If a bitterness against the powers that be betrays itself, let the continual clanking of sabres, and the deafening sound of heavy artillery in the daily drills of the soldiery, aids in crushing freemen in Kansas, -the outrages hourly committed upon peaceable and unarmed men, the daily news of some friend made prisoner, or butchered with a malignity more than human, the devastation of burning homes, by the connivance of the Governor, under the eye of the troops, and no power given them to save an oppressed people, be placed in the balance against a severe judgment. If the simple recital serves to strengthen in any the love of liberty, or to arouse in others a hatred to tyranny, then will its mission have been accomplished.
