Armitage, Katie H.: - Commemoration of Quantrill s raid peaked on the 50th anniversary of the attack in August 1913, when 200 survivors gathered in Lawrence. In 1925, fewer survivors met to remember. Almost 150 years later, the raid echoes still. Through images and stories from archival collections, the author, a longtime Lawrence historian, explores how survivors of this horrific event rebuilt their lives, their town, and memorialized their experiences.
