The most bitter guerrilla conflict in American history raged along the Kansas-Missouri border from 1856 to 1865, making that frontier the first battleground in the struggle over slavery.

By learning from their example, we can come to see "into the life of things," as William Wordsworth called it. We can be re-enchanted.
