Quindaro: stronger together
Diane Eickhoff and Aaron Barnhart — that’s us — started Quindaro Press in 2004. Our work has been featured in the New York Times, Kansas City Star, and numerous history publications. We were longtime presenters for Humanities Kansas.Quindaro was the first free-state port on the Missouri River at a time when pro-slavery forces controlled Kansas Territory.
