Bleeding Kansas"" has earned its name. A state already scarred from
the violence wrought by the likes of John Brown and William
Quantrill, Kansas witnessed further episodes of wanton bloodshed in
the late nineteenth century when settlers poured into a supposedly
peaceful frontier.Focusing on the tumultuous years 1885-1892,
Robert K. DeArment's compelling narrative is the first to reveal
the complete story of the county seat wars that raged in Kansas -
controversial episodes that made national news in the late 1900s
but are largely unknown today. With a story populated by some of
the most notorious characters of the West - including Sam Wood,
Theodosius Botkin, Bat Masterson, and Bill Tilghman - Ballots and
Bullets relives the violence that only avarice can breed. Ordinary,
decent citizens were drawn into bitter conflicts to advance their
own communities and block the fortunes of other towns, even if it
meant using hired gunmen. Gripping and historically accurate,
DeArment's account reveals a shocking chapter in the history of the
West.
