(4) YA Covering the years from 1854, when settlers first arrived in the Kansas Territory, to 1861, when statehood was granted, this account traces the machinations of pro- and anti-slavery forces as they tried to influence the state. The text is dry and unengaging but enlivened by historical reproductions and occasional supplements that introduce notable figures and events or contain excerpts from primary sources. A time line is included. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
