Historical errors
[edit]There are some errors of fact in this page.
"But he went from despised to hated after he ordered the imprisonment of women and children in a Missouri jail, tragically the jail's roof collapsed, and killed everyone inside."
1) James H. Lane did not order the imprisonments, General Thomas Ewing, Jr. did. 2) The makeshift jail was in Kansas City. 3) Only a few people were killed when the building collapsed, not everyone inside.

- You're right about points one and three, but last time I checked Kansas City was in Missouri....

I altered the reference to the Clint Eastwood film to indicate that the film was based on the Forrest Carter novel Gone To Texas, which book was inspired by the events in Osceola, Senator Lane, and the guerrilla warfare in Missouri and Kansas during and after the Civil War. ---Charles 18:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
