Cutlers Kansas History
In Response To: Mortality Rate ()

Here is an excerpt from Cutler's 1883 History of the State of Kansas:

"Statistics show that the losses of Kansas regiments in killed in battle and from disease are greater per thousand than those of any other State...The entire quota assigned to the State was 16,654, and the number raised was 20,097, leaving a surplus of 3,443 to the credit of Kansas."

The claim appears to be based on the Adjutant General's Report, as the numbers (e.g. 20,097)match up.

Malin talked about the myths of the Kansas Territorial Period; looks to me like there are myths about Kansas in the Civil War that have been around a long time, too.
