The Free State of Kansas and the slave state of Missouri are the backdrop of this tale of heroic deeds and fatal mistakes.
David Hanntakes the reader on a trail ride through a gritty time in the American West when people were pitted against each other and some had to choose sides in a life-and-death battle of ideas.
The Jayhawker Cleveland is a story of a man and his times. Culled from 1860s newspaper articles and published reports of a tumultuous and violent era in American history, Hann describes Cleveland's brief but deadly fame during the Kansas-Missouri Border War.
