NEW YORK TRIBUNE, July 2, 1856
* Bleeding Kansas
* Missouri border invasion
* War on slavery
Pages 4, 5 and 6 have a terrific wealth of content concerning the slavery/anti-slavery tensions in Kansas. Page 8 has related content as well.
Some articles are headed: "From Kansas" which reports from Lecompton: "For the time being, Kansas is relieved from the immediate peril of having its towns laid waste by large Missouri armies...". Also: "The Defeat of Free Kansas" An editorial beginning: "Lawrence having been sacked and its principal edifices burned, most of the other Free-State villages of Kansas having shared a similar fate...". There is also an editorial on the trouble.
Taking over a full page is the: "Report of the Outrages Win Kansas", much too much content to show in the photos. Also: "More Northern Emigrants Disarmed by Missourians" and: "Release of Free-State Prisoners" and more.
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, minor loss at the spine (repaired) from disbinding, nice condition.
