Kansas Territory in the turbulent years preceding the Civil War is a land of mixed culture and righteous people.
Drawn together by the promise of freedom and prosperity they struggle to survive in this land they call Eden.
Living in this untamed territory are men like John Brown who became the leader of antislavery
guerrillas and fought a pro-slavery attack against the antislavery town of Lawrence.
And The Reverend Thomas Johnson who was determined to uphold slavery within the confines of his a mission school in Kansas.
Both of these men, their families,
enslaved people and Indian tribes are intertwined on both sides of what became the Civil War.
Along the way there is hatred, faith, disillusionment, corruption, friendship and love.
The lives of these families overlap with many others, the educated and the ruffians who came to the Territory in 1856.
