For 11 years, astride the Missouri-Kansas border, Cass County endured the vortex of our nationâ€s most violent confl ict. Citizens struggled between three raging fi res, Secessionism, Unionism, and an undying Border War. Cass Countyâ€s uncivil war, intimate, cruel, and total, suffered no man, woman or child to escape loss or injury – their individual stories weave historyâ€s fabric. Violent circumstances forged leaders who shaped Missouriâ€s political and military history. Caught Between Three Fires, for the fi rst time, reconstructs a lost history, erased by total destruction, Order No. 11, and timeâ€s purposeful neglect.
