This month marks the 150th anniversary of Quantrill's Raid on Lawrence. On Saturday, the Fort Scott National Historic Site featured a reading on the raid and Order No. 11, which followed, and forced the evacuation of many Missouri counties along the Kansas border. Saturday's reading was part of the FSNHS script series of Shared Stories of the Civil War.
