Stony Lake | Second Fort Sumter | Lawrence Massacre | Brooklyn, KS

This week of the war brings us 3 battles and a massacre. First up, on July 28th, 1863, Henry Hastings Sibley is still fighting the Indians at the battle of Stony Lake. Then, we move back to Charleston Harbor where the second Battle Of Fort Sumter takes place. On August 21st, the infamous Lawrence Massacre also known as Qauntrill's Raid occurs in which Quantrill and his raiders kill around 150 unarmed men and boys in the city of Lawrence, Kansas in retaliation of the town's longstanding stance on supporting abolition. We end the episode with the battle of Brooklyn, Kansas immediately following the massacre after townsfolk and some Union cavalrymen pursue the raiders.Please check out our brand new podcast "According To Wikipedia" where we take random Wikipedia pages and read them so you don't have to!
