Hey List, In reference to the availability of Donald Gilmores book, ""War on the Missouri/Kansas Border"", it should be available at present by Barnes and Knoble for one. The publisher, Pelican Publishing is located in New Orleans and the release of this great book was delayed from October until just now. I again highly recommend the reading of the well researched book. In my opinion this is one of the most thought out and researched books on the subject almost since the occurrence of many of the actions discussed in the book. You will be delighted to see some photos included in the book, which have never before been published. They are absolutely amazing and reflect the length the Author went to..being sure all was told authentic and displayed authentic. I highly recommend it and applaud Mr. Gilmores great efforts to report on a long over looked and often mis reported topic. Good Reading, Claiborne Scholl Nappier
