Synopsis
Aboard the Steamboat Arabia, Josephine and Jessica Tate head up the Missouri River to meet their father in Parkville, where a mercantile will be built to aid settlers going into the interior.
The border between Kansas Territory and Missouri is a smoldering powder keg. It needs only a spark to explode. Pro-slavers, free-staters, abolitionists, jayhawkers and border ruffians vie to decide how the Territory will join the Union—as a slave state or free. In the “Border War” that precedes the Civil War, Kansas earns the name “Bleeding Kansas” for the blood shed between it and Missouri.
Events far greater than rival factions impact Josie and Jess’s lives as they sail toward their own futures and never imagined hardships along the way.
