Cool stuff, Kat! Have you more detail about "Uncle Gus" and his travels with the KS Union boys? That is fascinating part of the war to me. I've just written a couple sogs for a movie about Lawrence massacre - one song they'd asked for from the point-of-view of William Quatrill.

I wonder if your family may have more "stuff" from Uncle Gus? My wife's family had a case footlocker full of things, including a diary - from one of her ggg grandfathers.
