Thomas and Matt M. Matthews will be speaking about the Kansas Red Legs. This will be part 1 of a 2-part presentation. We will explore the mysterious Civil War outfit known as the Kansas "Red Legs." Though they were ostensibly pro-Union in allegiance, these combatants were really more of an ad hoc terrorist organization that sought to profit off the war by robbing and stealing in the name of the Union. Led by Captain George H. Hoyt (perhaps better known as the abolitionist lawyer who served as a counsel for the defense in Virginia v. John Brown) and, from the shadows, the notorious Jayhawker, Charles "Doc" Jennison, the Red Legs ran wild along the Kansas-Missouri border from 1862-63. During their brief reign of terror, any man who crossed their path—be they a loyalist or a rebel—was a potential target. Indeed, the damage the Red Legs inflicted was severe, and their abuses were one of the reasons that Quantrill is said to have sacked the city of Lawrence in August of 1863. But for some reason, as soon as the Civil War ended, the deeds of the Red Legs began to fade from cultural memory. Even today, after decades of rich Civil War research, a full book about these men has never been written.  There will also be a drawing for some free books!
