(no photo). Estimate $ During the American Civil War, in addition to his Senate service, Lane raised a brigade of Jayhawkers known as the "Kansas Brigade". He led this force into action against pro-southern general Sterling Price in the Battle of Dry Wood Creek as Price began an offensive early in the war to retake Missouri for the pro-confederate state government that had been deposed by pro-union forces. Lane lost the battle but stayed behind and attacked pro-south pockets in Missouri behind Price. His raids culminated in the Sacking of Osceola, in which Lane's forces killed at least nine men, then pillaged, looted, and then burned the town; these events inspired the novel Gone to Texas by Forrest Carter, which was the basis for the 1976 Clint Eastwood movie The Outlaw Josey Wales. On December 18, 1861 Lane was appointed brigadier general of volunteers. On Mar 21, 1862, his commission was canceled in culmination of an argument over whether a sitting U.S. Senator could concurrently hold the rank of general.[1] However on April 11, 1862 he was reinstated as brigadier general of volunteers with the confirmation of the U.S. Senate. During he served as recruiting commissioner for the state of Kansas. Lane was the target of the event that became the Lawrence Massacre (or Quantrill's Raid) on August 21, In 1864 when Sterling Price invaded Missouri, Lane served as a volunteer aide-de-camp to Samuel R. Curtis, commander of the Army of the Border.
