Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1 By an act of congress of May 26, 1830, the United States government, as if in the belief that its domain embraced land enough for all its people to grow in, magnanimously set aside an indefinite area, some six hundred miles from north to south and two hundred miles in width, as Indian territory. To this region, which lay west of the territory of Arkansas and of the ten-year-old state of Missouri, extending northward to the Platte and Missouri rivers, all Indians from the eastern portion of the country were to be removed as rapidly as the government could persuade them to cede their ancestral lands and take other lands, far to the west, in exchange. The plan of the government seems to have been to make over these various Indian groups, once they had been transplanted to their new homes, into self-supporting communities. To this end, provision was made for teachers and missionaries to accompany them, and for agricultural tools and supplies, paid for out of funds held in trust for the Indians by the paternal government, to be distributed under the benevolent direction of agents appointed from Washington. The teachers were to teach the Indians their letters and the rudiments of civilized deportment. Farmers and artisans employed by the government were to teach them to plow, sow, and reap, and such elementary industrial arts as blacksmithing. Missionaries were to persuade them to give up the evil ways of barbarism and become Christians. Meanwhile, the evacuated Indian lands east of the Mississippi could be distributed to land-hungry pioneers. There is abundant record of how that grandiose plan, in its execution, fell somewhat short of expectations. And there would be no place for even a mention of it here except for the fact that one of the missionaries who accompanied a certain band of Indians into the far west had started life as a printer and in his new career combined printing with preaching. Jotham Meeker was the name of this printer-missionary. He had been born in or near Cincinnati, Ohio, November 8, 1804.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 19 The old Bernard home stands on the south bank of the Cotton wood near the mouth of French creek. To reach the place today it is necessary to leave the highway and drive through a field, fording a creek which is a short distance from the house. The original log cabin, the home of the Bernards in the earliest days, is still standing and still sturdy. It is On the very bank Of the river. The big house is in front of the cabin, a bit farther from the river. Part of the house has been torn down and moved out to the highway where it has been remodeled into a home for the present occupant of the farm. The rest of the house has fallen into decay. The huge fireplace built into the wall between the kitchen and dining room has been removed but the hearth is still there, and the long covered wood box beside it has not been disturbed. It is long enough to have been used for a bed and probably was a great many times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
