About this episode

In this episode, we explore When the Missouri Ran Red by Jim Woolard, a fictional war story set along the Missouri River in the 1800s.

A war on the American frontier. Brother fighting brother. War can be a terrible thing. In this episode, we explore When the Missouri Ran Red by Jim Woolard — a fictional war story set along the Missouri River in the 1800s. What begins as a brutal killing becomes a test of frontier justice, where reputation, power, and survival matter just as much as the truth. This isn’t just about slavery. It’s about revenge and love and justice. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, war, us history, and set in the background of the antebellum South. There’s romance and spying as well. Because before the war was won… it was unstable, dangerous — and sometimes, the Missouri ran red.
