"The long agony" was over: Kansas, as of January 29, 1861, was a
state--it had "moved to America." In Leavenworth, Lawrence, Topeka,
and other towns Kansans celebrated the "glorious news" of the
coming of statehood in a "fury of excitement." Cannons boomed,
cheering crowds gathered on the street corners, a judge and a
militia general stood on their heads, and the saloons were scenes
of inebriated revelry. So begins Albert Castel's classic history of
Kansas during the Civil War. Long recognized as a key study on the
war in the trans-Mississippi West, Civil War Kansas describes the
political, military, social, and economic events of the state's
first four years. Castel contributes to a better understanding of
the Civil War in this region through a realistic presentation and
analysis of the Kansas-Missouri border conflict, the operations of
the Missouri guerrillas under Quantrill, and the Union and
Confederate military campaigns in Missouri, Arkansas, the Indian
Territory, and Kansas itself.
