Charles H. Hoyt, 1909 September 27.
Scope and Contents
Contents: The following statement was made to me in Lawrence, Kansas, September 27, 1909, by Charles H. Hoyt. On September 14, 1856, he was one of the citizens who defended Lawrence from the border-ruffians and was actively engaged on the firing line. He saw John Brown that day. He was in the Lawrence massacre; was at home at No. 745 Indiana Street on recruiting service. Hoyt's sister told the guerrillas that there were no men in the house. He left the house by the back door and jumped over the fence into the alley and ran west. The guerrillas were all the time firing at him.
