- Summary
- "Edward Fitch and his wife, Sarah, wrote more than 150 letters [home to Massachusetts], from the turmoil that surrounded Douglas County, Kansas, as Jayhawkers and Missouri ruffians battled over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a slave or free state. Their letters ranged from the ordinary pioneer struggles to the atrocities of war, culminated by William Quantrill's bloody 1863 raid on Lawrence. ...[Their] letters tell an important story of an ordinary family taking an extraordinary stand for a belief that would change a country."--P. [4] of cover
