Item # 700325 ·

NEW YORK TRIBUNE, June 13, 1856

  • Bleeding - Bloody Kansas - Border War
  • Sacking of Osawatomie & Palmyra
  • Free-Staters vs. Border Ruffians
  • Fight for pro and anti-slavery

This issue has many reports on the "Bleeding Kansas" situation, some articles headed: "To the Free North" "Battle of Palmyra" "Indictments For High Treason" "What Can Be Done For Kansas?" and more, as seen in the photos. Plus there is an article: "Important From Fort Pierre - Final Treaty With the Sioux".
Bleeding Kansas describes the period of repeated outbreaks of violent guerrilla warfare between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces following the creation of the new territory of Kansas in 1854. In all, some 56 people were killed between 1855 and 1859.

Eight pages, nice condition.
