Vengeance in My Heart: a Novel of the Civil War

In 1863, Confederate guerrillas raided Lawrence, Kansas, unleashing in turn a torrent of revenge on western Missouri by Kansans and Federal soldiers. The author tracked down dozens of eyewitness accounts of the raid and aftermath, from diaries, memoirs, interviews, newspapers, and articles. This is the first true and complete account of the Lawrence Raid, using only reported dialogue, written in a novelized form. All characters and events in this book are real. A prologue and epilogue are also provided for historical context.
