Fire on the Prairie: The Story of the Lawrence Massacre

Let us know what you think about the episodeOn August 21, 1863, the residents of Lawrence, Kansas woke up to chaos.  The Civil War was raging, and this Midwestern town, far from the front lines, was at the center. 500 men rode into town, killing men and boys, burning down the homes and businesses. They said they were fighting for the Confederacy but were they really just criminals looking to steal and kill? In this true crime documentary, we explore the question of whether this was mass murder or an act of war.More about the show:🌐 https://thehistoryofmurder.comTeam & ContributorsExecutive Producer- Clare O'Donohue https://clareodonohue.comExecutive Producer - Margaret SmithEditor – Steph KellySocial Media Manager & Design - Mikayla Bogushttps://mikayladesign.cargo.siteIT Manager - Conor SweeneyThe History of Murder Logo - Bernadette Carrhttps://www.bcarrdesign.comTheme Song “My Carnal Life I Will Lay Down” - Rob Breretonhttps://robertbrereton.com Voice of William Quantill - Nick RowleyVoice of Bill Anderson - Joe JanesVoice of Elizabeth - Kelly HaranVoice of Rev.
