Arnold Schofield will talk about the brigade of Jayhawkers led by General James Lane and the campaign of destruction and devastation they caused across western Missouri in 1861 (including the Burning of Osceola). It was a time of retaliation for the destruction during the epoch of Bleeding Kansas. Nothing was safe – homes, barns, outbuildings, fencing, and businesses were destroyed by fire.
