Among thousands of affected families living on the edge of 'civilization' were those of the Lykins, Peerys and Heiskells. Discover what their lives were like, and how Missourians and Kansans relationships were forever changed by these tumultuous events. The story of the three inter-related pioneer families, replete with fascinating period documents and graphics, is augmented by an extensive six-generation genealogy.
