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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Castel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0700608729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780700608720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kansas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.55w x 0.85d","brand":"Albert Castel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925717909759,"sku":"9780700608720","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_138e7999-f22a-41d7-b41c-cd4bdbaa5bef.jpg?v=1681078937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-war-kansas-albert-castel-9780700608720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
