[Non-Sequitur]

My favorite line is during the Lawrence Raid when Rodel and Holt are having breakfast while the raid is going on. In comes Pitt Mackeson to round up the people running the cafe, and Rodel tells him that they'll deal with the people once they're done eating. Mackeson walks over to Rodel and says, "Why you little Dutch son of a bitch. You do what I tell you or I'll kill you." Jake responds by pulling a really big pistol and pointing it a few inches from Mackeson's face saying, "And when do you figure to do this mean thing to me Mackeson? Is this very moment convenient for you? It is for me."

I love that movie. It was shot in and around the KC area, and the Lawrence destruction was actually done in a small town north of here that got flooded out in 1993 and was abandoned.

Yes. That is a great scene. I had an ancestor at Lawrence, with Quantrill, and his complaint was that many common thugs participated in that raid. I do believe the raid was justified, because of Jayhawker activity, but the killing of civilians was wrong. I think they could have killed soldiers, burned the town, and still accomplished their goal. Unfortunately with both sides, revenge and the code of the feud governed actions in most cases.
