Kansas, Bloody Kansas

Those who survived would always remember...

The War Between the States was no longer thought of as a glorious conflict. Now everyone saw it for what it was—an orgy of vengeance and blood.

For the Kimbrough men —Jesse, Calvin, and Ross -- every moment was a bitter struggle for honor, victory...and survival. Driven nearly mad by the horrors of the terrible carnage in Missouri, Kansas. and Arkansas, each desperately sought safety for the women they loved.

The Kimbrough women — Cassandra and Elizabeth — tried everything to keep their hope and love alive; they realized that the few moments of peace and affection they could enjoy might have to last an eternity.
