The Jay-Hawkers: A Story Of Free Soil And Border Ruffian Days is a historical novel written by Adela E. Orpen. The book is set in the mid-19th century, during the time when the United States was grappling with the issue of slavery and its expansion into new territories. The story revolves around a group of Jay-Hawkers, a term used to describe anti-slavery activists who were active in the Kansas Territory during the period of Bleeding Kansas. The protagonist of the novel is a young woman named Jessie, who is a staunch abolitionist and becomes involved in the conflict between the Jay-Hawkers and the pro-slavery Border Ruffians. The novel explores the themes of courage, sacrifice, and the struggle for justice in a time of great social upheaval. Through the eyes of Jessie and her fellow Jay-Hawkers, the reader is transported back to a pivotal moment in American history, when the nation was on the brink of civil war. Orpen's vivid descriptions of the Kansas landscape, the characters, and the events of the time make this book a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, the abolitionist movement, and the struggle for civil rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
