Michael is in Lawrence, a fast-grown city in the Bleeding Kansas era of pioneers establishing a territory of Kansas and claiming statehood during the the slavery conflict escalating into the Civil war of Secession. Its home to a rare Indian school -founded to gruesomely assimilate natives from tribes from many states- turned college, where he enjoys an Indian prairie grouse dance in 'full regalia', and the proud birthplace of regulation basketball at Kansas University. A private tourist line keeps the steam train experience alive.
