When the Border War was more than a football game, when mafia men used fear and bullets to rule Kansas City, when a woman nicknamed “La Pistolera” held records for local and Federal outstanding arrest warrants.
Step into Flatland’s digital series, “Bloody, MO” for a Civil War-through modern day video peek into Kansas City’s bloody past – starring equally notorious and unknown gunslingers, fire-starters, and godfathers.
For history buffs and the uninitiated alike, the four-part series begins this coming Monday, January 25 and delves through the echoes of our past.
