Civil War on the Missouri-Kansas Border

From the back dust jacket: "During the Civil War, the western front was the scene of some of that conflict's bloodiest and most barbaric encounters as Union raiders and Confederate guerrillas pursued each other from farm to farm with equal disregard for civilian casualties. Historical accounts of these events overwhelmingly favor the victorious Union standpoint, characterizing the Southern fighters as wanton, unprincipled savages. But in fact...the bushwhackers' violent reactions were understandable, given the reign of terror they endured as a result of Lincoln's total war in the West."
"Lincoln's drastic measures included imposing martial law and finally deporting the border counties' entire population under General Orders Number 11 in September 1863. Rebels were also subject to the roughest frontier justice as they were executed on sight, without trial or jury."

Book - Very Good condition. End papers are printed with Missouri-Kansas border maps. Noted flaw is that about the middle third of the pages have small corner damage on the top corner. Otherwise, minimal edge/corner wear.Text is clean, binding is tight.

Dust Jacket - Very Good condition. Both front and back covers have some slight areas of rubbing/bumping, but it is really only visible in the right light. There is a slight soft crease at the bottom of the front cover and front flap, and an almost soft crease on the back. Very minimal edge wear, slight corner wear.
