Description
Two separate accounts of Quantrill's August 21, 1863 raid on Lawrence, Kansas by eyewitnesses who escaped. The letters of Sophia Bissell and Sidney Clarke are reprinted, hers dated September 8, 1863 and his dated August 26, 1863. Includes Clarke's picture. Neither one stayed in Kansas, rather Sophia returned to Connecticut and Mr. Clarke ended up in Oklahoma Territory.

For Bissell, it was awful 'to hear the yells & hear the firing and to see the people running black & white old and young and the Fiends chasing after them firing as fast as they possibly could.'
