 File — Folder: C4/2

Scope and Contents

Contents: Topeka, Kansas, April 8, 1906. Mrs. Frances Beeson Thompson directed me to Mrs. B. F. Jackson of Topeka, a person who lived at Stanton at an early day, who might give me some information. I saw her today, also her two sons. Quantrill turned south after sacking Lawrence, Kansas. His intention was to sack Osawatome and Paola. The Jacksons could see Quantrill's command on the high land between the waters of the Marais Des Ceynes and Bull Creek as it migrated from Lawrence, Kansas toward Paola, Kansas. They were in sight an hour or more. They numbered about 500.
