The Jayhawker
The Tale That Begged To Be Told!
You’ve read stories of racial conflict from black victims’ points of view.
And you’ve been in the minds of whites who saw themselves as riding to the rescue.
But Malcolm Erskine — the Jayhawker — was an irrepressible man of color who was a fighter and avenger, not a victim.
This is his story.
Never before has the run-up to the Civil War given us a tale blending blood-and-guts Kansas border action with the intrigues, heartbreaks, and passions of real-life drama.
Never before has the pivotal outcome of the 1850s Border War gotten the true historical focus this tale tells.
Never has “Bleeding Kansas” — in the spirit of John Brown, Malcolm Erskine’s mentor — bled so gloriously!
