This tells the story of the Marais des Cygnes Massacre, where on the morning of May 19, 1858, a group of 20 to 30 proslavery men from Missouri captured 11 unarmed freestate men, and marched them to this site, where they were lined up and shot. Five men died from their wounds, five others were injured, and one survived unharmed by pretending to be dead.
