Description:
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…

Description:
From the Introduction: "If your nerves have not tingled to the smell of steam and hot cylinder oil - if your blood has not raced with the rhythmic chuf-chuff of a steam traction engine under load - you have not fully lived. But cheers! You yet may live.
These nearly-forgotten sensual delights can now be yours at any of the many steam threshing jamborees up and down our land where old settlers meet, old threshermen thresh, and the shout still echoes across the land..."
Obviously, this book is about threshing machines and steam engines.
Poor condition. NO COVER. The pages in this book feel like only slightly better paper than newsprint. The paper has some tanning. There is some edge and corner wear. There is a 1/2 inch closed tear on the front and stains on the back. There are many black & white photos.

From front DJ flap: "Often referred to as the 'heart of America,' Kansas City is a vibrant metropolis that boasts a lively jazz scene, the best of American barbecue, and more fountains than any city outside of Rome.The land at the confluence of the Missouri and Kaw rivers was first inhabited by the Kansa and Osage tribes. Francois Chouteau, Kansas City's founder, arrived here to join the French fur trade in 1821. By 1853, there were 2,500 inhabitants per square mile, and with immigrants arriving from Ireland, Germany, and Sweden, plus a growing Jewish population, the city gained an impressive labor force."
This book offers a fascinating chronicle of history and change.
