Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the harrowing experiences of a Free State man during the tumultuous period of Kansas's struggle for statehood. The author, a physician, vividly portrays his family's arrival in Kansas and their efforts to establish a life in the face of constant threats from pro-slavery forces. He details the brutal realities of "border rufians" who terrorized Free State settlers, jumping claims, burning homes, and stealing property. His detailed account of the Battle of Osawatomie, where he and John Brown fought against Missourians determined to impose slavery on Kansas, highlights the intensity of the conflict. The author also captures the resilience of Free State women who, despite the dangers, provided unwavering support to their families and community. This book, written from the perspective of a man deeply involved in the Kansas struggle, offers an intimate glimpse into the violent and chaotic period when the future of slavery hung in the balance. Ultimately, it reveals the courage and determination of those who fought for a vision of Kansas as a free state.

In June, Mr. Cantrell, who, though from Missouri, was a Free-State man, was taken prisoner with his wife and family; was offered his freedom if he would join the invaders, and, on his refusal, was shot down and pinned to the ground with a bayonet; his wife and family vainly pleading for his life. Mr. Hopps, from Massachusetts, a brother-in-law of Eev. Mr. Nute, of Lawrence, was shot and scalped on the highway by a Southern man named Fugitt, who had bet a pair of boots at Leavenworth that he would bring in a Yankee scalp within two hours, and thus won his bet, carrying in the bleeding scalp in triumph on the end of his gun. Mr. Bailey, the only man in Kansas that I know of who has purchased his land with a warrant actually received APPENDIX A.
