Pioneer Kansas Family
My dad, Clyde Owen Martin, is the subject for my mom's latest book. Some of my essays and my sister Cindy's are included as well. While compiling my mom's writing and research into the book, I uncovered some family history that was new to me. We also turned up some vintage family pictures that I'd not seen before.
To get the whole story, I recommend that you get Dad's book. Click on the book cover below or go to www.gailmartin.wordpress.com to order it.
In this lens, I'll share some of the photos, information and family tree with you.

Black Jack, Kansas
Kennedy family history
The Battle of Black Jack took place on June 2, 1856, when anti-slavery forces, led by the noted abolitionist John Brown, attacked the encampment of Henry C. Pate near Baldwin City, Kansas. The battle is cited as one incident of ?Bleeding Kansas? and a contributing factor leading up to the American Civil War of 1861 to 1865.
