Days of Border Warfare in Kansas Remembered in Lawrence
Louise Critchfield Hubbard recalls early Kansas days from April 1835 to Quantrill era and Emigrant Aid times in Lawrence. She details family trials during pro slavery conflicts, her parents moving to Leavenworth and Franklin County, slaveholding neighbors, imprisonments of anti slave forces, and a perilous summer where boy prisoners were kept in one room. The narrative covers her growing up amid mob pressure, escape plans, and federal releases, ending with her mother's death when Louise was twelve and her move to relatives as Quantrill sacked Lawrence.
