Kendall Gott's New Book 'Gone to Kansas 1855' Accounts the Gripping Journey of a Common Man Making a Name Throughout This Challenging World

LEAVENWORTH, Kan., December 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Kendall Gott, a retired army officer and a retired senior historian of the Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; has completed his new book, "Gone to Kansas 1855": a wonderful journey that follows Hiram Lockwood, a man with a trouble past and grew up in a broken home, as he moves west to Kansas and involves himself into a history that's in the making.

Gott shares, "While shelves are filled with accounts of industry titans, politicians, and exalted military leaders, this is a tale of an estranged young man making his way in a hard, cold, and often cruel world. Escaping a dull future with little meaning, he follows the example of his childhood hero and comes west into the Kansas Territory to seek his fortune. He first joins a freighting company down the Santa Fe Trail and then returns to the turbulent 'Bleeding Kansas.' The long miles are marked by countless graves, scoured by Indians, and fought over by two bitterly opposed political factions. Often discouraged, he must thread his way through these obstacles, and he concludes that he could use a little divine inspiration."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Kendall Gott's new book is a great story of a life that never completely gave up despite the setbacks and failures. With divine inspiration, he trailed throughout the turbulent roads of Kansas and fought for success.
