Fighting Man

The vociferous West was asking for war and these four hundred tough men knew just how the request could be granted! D0 YOU remember what you did in Independence Jennison? Do you remember Anthony? And you Jim Lane-yes Senator James Lane. You're not banging on Abe Lincoln's bedroom door this morning. You're not telling him how to run the war. You're home today home in Lawrence Kansas. This is August 21 1863 a day you will never forget. It's early morning and you're still in your night shirt but look out of your window Jim Lane. Look out and see who's coming. Yes-it's Quantrell the man you drove out of Lawrence three years ago. He's come back-with four hundred fighting men four hundred of the most desperate deadliest men this country has even known. You wanted war you abolitionists. Well your war's come home to you!
