On May 18, 1863, members of a foraging party from the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry were killed by guerrilla band of Southern sympathizers at a farm in Jasper County, Mo. The site became the epicenter of two days of death and destruction that set a large a large swath of the county ablaze.

Historian and author Steve Cottrell talks about the events of those two days on the site of what will become a Civil War memorial. Organizers hope to have work under way by 2011, in time for the 150th anniversary of the war.
