Description

Civil War on the Western Border, 1854-1865The first phase of the Civil War was fought west of the Mississippi River at least six years before the attack on Fort Sumter. Starting with the passage of the Kansas Nebraska Act in 1854, Jay Monaghan traces the development of the conflict between the pro slavery elements from Missouri and the New England abolitionists who migrated to Kansas. Bleeding Kansas provided a preview of the greater national struggle to come. The author allows a new look at

The first phase of the Civil War was fought west of the Mississippi River at least six years before the attack on Fort Sumter. Starting with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, Jay Monaghan traces the development of the conflict between the pro-slavery elements from Missouri and the New England abolitionists who migrated to Kansas. Bleeding Kansas provided a preview of the greater national struggle to come.

The author allows a new look at Quantrill's sacking of Lawrence, organized bushwhackery, and border battles that cost thousands of lives. Not the least valuable are chapters on the American Indians' part in the conflict. The record becomes devastatingly clear: the fighting in the West was the cruelest and most useless of the whole affair, and if men of vision had been in Washington in the 1850s it might have been avoided.

Easy to use, pepper doesn't get stuck
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
I'm never going back to an electric grinder again!!! I like my pepper on the fine side - I don't like to bite into a chunk of peppercorn. With those electric grinders, the peppercorns get stuck and the motors don't have enough 'oompf' to plow through. This handy dandy grinder absolutely does! I'm able to easily adjust the size of the grind and the mechanism is smooth and easy to handle. The shape feels good in my hand and the 1/2 cup container is a great size. You don't have to refill it too often. Between the shape of the grinders and the holder, I feel it looks nice on my table. I couldn't be more pleased!!

I love these. They work fantastic and are easy to adjust. You can get mixed color pepper and I use Celtic salt in them. Great quality and come with the carrier.

Good quality and great value
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
Willow & Everett Salt and Pepper Grinder Set - Stainless Steel Manual Mills I bought this set because my smaller pepper grinder broke. This set is very similar in style, though larger. I really like it! The larger size is easier to handle and can store more pepper and salt inside it, meaning it needs less frequent refills. The adjustable grinder mechanisms work very well. The lids are easy to take on and off. The caddy is a little flimsy, but that wasn't why I bought the set. If you are swayed by the caddy, then you might be disappointed if it receives heavy use (like a family dinner table). But the mills and grinders themselves are good quality and a great bargain.

Simplicity wins here
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
These S/P grinders are simple but I love it. I've purchased several grinders over the years. Some powered, a set using levers to grind, other manual twisters — each with cute features — that all had flaws with filling ease or the powered versions just quit working. This set is so easy to fill, adjust, and use, look, and feel great in hand, and don't break the bank with gimmicks. This set is form and function at its best. UPDATE: So I purchased this set in Nov of 2024. As you can see, it was love. Of late, the grinders have become problematic…especially the salt grinder. The salt grinder got to where even adjust the grind size because it took all I could do to even get the adjustment screw cap to screw on. Salt was getting trapped so I disassembled the grinder cap and cleaned it over and over. With each use, the grinder got more loose. Tonight, it finally gave up. No. These grinders aren’t extremely expensive but, from the reviews and ratings, I’m highly surprised and disappointed.
