Borderland

Before the Civil War divided the land, the land divided a proud family. Will Hartman's sons and daughters were a fierce and determined American family, with a legacy of honor and a bold dream to build new lives on the Missouri frontier.

But long before America declared itself at war over the issue of slavery, Kansas and Missouri were already in pitched battle across their shared border. John Brown's bloody raids into Missouri were answered with retaliatory strikes at the homes of the abolitionists.

All too soon the Hartman family was caught up in the division on opposite sides. Soon their angers were burning as hotly as their passions...and soon the Hartman pride would shout its rage, the Hartman blood would soak the earth, as brother faced brother across a gulf of hatred on the Borderland.
