Additional Information

On June 10th, at 7 PM, the Rochester Civil War Round Table will feature David Allen, telling us about the "Guerillas in the West".

When the Civil War began in 1861, Kansas & Missouri had already been at war with each other for nearly 5 years. Animosity generated between those with southern roots in Missouri, a slave state, & the abolitionists of the new territory of "Bleeding Kansas" spilled over into war. The result of most of these acts, in fact, worked against the war aims of both the North & the South, tragically ending the lives of thousands of people on the Western frontier & created a lasting legacy of distrust & hatred between the two states.

The presentation will be at the History Center of Olmsted County, which is located at 1195 W. Circle Dr. SW, Rochester. The public is invited.
