Taylor was quickly convicted of assault and spent 30 days in jail and ordered to pay a fine of $20. It is then presumed that he left town.

During the 1910s, Luke Hoffman was an Ottawa University student pursuing a degree in science and a passion for photography and graphic design. Hoffman captured hundreds of lively and often funny images of student life—in the classroom, in residence halls and boarding rooms, at play, and around town.

Someone has created a role-playing game about #BleedingKansas called "Beecher's Bibles". You play the role of abolitionists and "shoot some Border Ruffians" (creator's words). #games #Kansas #KansasHistory
