The ending of Tuscarora Lake was directly linked to national events, beginning with the border ruffian William C. Quantrill, the Border Wars between Kansas and Missouri, as well as the Civil War. This study uses old maps, field work, a personal diary, and newspaper articles to reconstruct this history.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
