If that were the Missouri/ Kansas border there would be more armed guards to keep those Jayhawkers out.

Really, I suppose John Brown sneaking across the border and burning entire communities had nothing to do with it. Not to mention Doc Jennison and the good Senator James Lane..

The border crossing is the Detroit / Windsor crossing.David

Right! That was the point the History Channel was making. Its kind of cool. Actually, back when men were men (or cowboys) our two respective states had an incredible amount of history going on. Heck! If St.Lewis won the contract to be the train hub that Chicago ended up becoming, I can't even imagine how different America would look today... Originally Posted by nun2sharp
