Eight pages, very nice condition.
Background: Between August 27 and September 1, 1856, in the midst of the violent conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas," pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces clashed violently in eastern Kansas Territory. Tensions peaked when Free-State leader James H. Lane led a militia force to confront pro-slavery strongholds. On August 30, 1856, Lane's forces successfully captured Fort Titus, a pro-slavery fortified home near Lecompton, which symbolized escalating retaliation after earlier raids. These days marked one of the most intense periods of guerrilla warfare in the territory, with raids, burnings, and skirmishes that underscored the deep national divide over slavery. This stretch of violence further illustrated how Kansas had become a battleground for the future of slavery in America.
