S.T. Shore, testimony

This testimony, a portion of the Journal of Investigations in Kansas, was collected by the National Kansas Committee under the leadership of Thaddeus Hyatt. Although Captain Shore was a free state militia captain and was active during the border warfare of 1856, this account focuses on his personal life and his perceptions of the Kansas Territory rather than upon his political or military experiences. The testimony begins with general information about his family, claim, etc., and then proceeds to his personal opinion of the land and vegetation in Kansas.

James Garrison to Samuel L. Adair

Garrison, James

James Garrison writes to his cousin, Samuel L. Adair, that he has collected $104.75 to be used for relief in Kansas. Garrison is concerned about how to get the money to Adair and suggests that, if Adair has been able to collect on the sale of Rachel Garrison's goods, Adair should use that money instead. He asks Adair to write a letter of acknowledgement to the "Free Presbyterian" published in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
