My friend, Ms. Diane Euston, is an English teacher and teaches Kansas City History at Grandview High School. She specializes in writing little known stories about Kansas City and writing them in fun, entertaining & non-historical ways! Your homework for tonight is to enjoy (ideally print it off & read it outside!) her very well researched, story about the voting fraud that took place along the Kansas-Missouri Borders including the infamous Oxford Township Frauds. For those of you that live in South Kansas City or Leawood this was in your very own backyard and ultimately led to the election of Abraham Lincoln! After reading the article, please feel free to pass along any questions you might have as Ms. Euston is happy to answer anything you might want to know. If you are interested in reading more great stories about Kansas City, particularly South Kansas City then be sure to visit her blog at the link below.
