"Kansas/Missouri Border War Book Recommendation?" Topic

Title pretty much sums it up.

Not exactly Kansas-Missouri War, but might have some info. Part of a three volume set. I do not own these, so cannot speak to their quality, but other McFarland books I own, while pricey, have been good research works.

The novel "Ride With the Devil" was based on.

"Civil War On The Western Border, 1854-1865" by Jay Monaghan, University of Nebraska Press, 1955, my edition printed 1984. 351 pages, extensive notes. An excellent general history flawed by lack of any maps or illustrations. Abe Books has used copies starting at less than $4. USD
