Civil War on the Western Border, 1854-1865

Civil War on the Western Border 1854~1865 is written by Jay Monaghan and was originally published in 1955 by Bonanza Books. This book details the brutal struggle of the events leading up to the American Civil War in the period of 1854 to 1865. Specifically, this book focuses on the doctrine of the “Squatter Sovereignty” act, an act that forced settlers of Kansas to choose for themselves whether Kansas would enter the Union as a slave state, or a free state. Kansas was in a battle of its own during this time as both abolitionist states and slave states fought to sway the final decision. Monaghan paints a beautiful and detailed picture of this struggle and its ultimate consequences. This book is in very good condition, it has a dust jacket and the pages are clear and bright.
