The film is worth watching for the scene of the sacking of Lawrence and subsequent bloodbath.
Pretty Good western but very loosely based on facts.

Kansas Raiders is a neat little film, with a higher budget than most Audie Murphy westerns. An interesting cast that includes Tony Curtis, Richard Arlen, and Audie Murphy. This movie is an ambitious and ambiguous premise make this a worthwhile way of passing the time.
