And it is amazing what you can find in the old newspapers. I usually only find mine when they were being fined or going to jail :D<br /><br />Janice BrownJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476918537317701594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-59636731488876439912013-02-06T16:26:14.802-08:002013-02-06T16:26:14.802-08:00I learned a lot from this post!

And there's Charles Sumner in Chapman Hall in 1850, with your 4th GG. I don't know whether they jailed Preston Brooks, but they certainly should have.<br /><br />There's a truly wonderful historical novel about abolitionists in Kansas, including the violence in Lawrence. It's The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton, by Jane Smiley.
