The Kansas State Historical Society will use its grant to treat two Kansas Civil War battle flags carried by Kansas regiments at Prairie Grove, Arkansas. The flags are painted and depict numerous battle honors. One of the flags is from the 1st Kansas Battery, commanded by James Lane, one of the first U.S. Senators from Kansas and a fervent antislavery soldier. His unit attacked and looted Osceola, Missouri, an event that incited Confederate guerilla William Quantrill to later attack the town of Lawrence, Kansas, where Lane lived, killing 150 men and boys.
