Author's Note: Author's Notes: This story only covers events in Season 1 and greatly simplifies the multiple storylines found in canon, as well as makes changes necessary for the technology of the time period. I have also needed to take some liberties with the real history of the Kansas Territory and the struggle for statehood, but hope these have not been excessive. More details about the historical setting and my research sources can be found in the notes at the end of the story.A huge thank you to: my usual cheerleader and beta,

scribblesinink, for all her help;

sgafan for the 'horse-beta'; and

queenmidalah for volunteering to create some lovely art to accompany the story.
