Intrigue Across the Kansas Border

This is a tale about two Irish lads who grew up as the small children of parents who died in early Iowa of the pox. The oldest, Matt, joins the Texas Rangers, while Pat enlists in the Union Army. Later they all come together during a time referred to as 'Bloody Kansas' during the Civil War, when Pro-Slavers would vote for Kansas statehood as a slave state, while Anti-Slavers would vote for a free state. In the mix of all this, along with tribes of hostile Indians.
