The Kansas City Public Library hosted this talk. It is about an hour. Eli welcome, how are you . I head up the Missouri Valley special collection, the history arm of the public library.

The 1865 edict known as order number 11 in the federal army had depopulated several counties, devastated homes and farms come and left deep physical and mental scars that took decades to heal. Tom has authored two books on this subject. The first, caught between three fires, and the second, cinders and silence. Both will be available after his talk.
