August 21, 1863

On August 21, 1863, Lawrence Kansas was destroyed by the extra military Confederate guerrillas called Quantrill's Raiders. Quantrill was quite probably a violent psychopath. One of Quantrill's band was related to people in the family tree of the blogger who began and keeps up this blog--Cat Lovers Almanac.

An anniversary then of events from 155 years ago.
