Excerpt from Memoirs and Recollections of C. W. Goodlander of the Early Days of Fort Scott: From April 29, 1858, to January 1, 1870, Covering the Time Prior to the Advent of the Railroad and During the Days of the Ox-Team and Stage Transportation A few miles beyond Shawnee Mission we struck the prairie and thereafter saw few settlements. At noon we stopped at a place called Squireville for dinner, which place consisted of one store, one house, blacksmith shop and stage stable. The dinner consisted of salt pork, beans, dried apples and coffee. Squireville, I think, was near where the town of Olathe is now sit usted. After leaving Squireville the settlements became more scattering. We reached Osawatomie in the even ing and put up there for the night. We got an early start next morning and reached Moneka for dinner, a point some few miles north of the present Mound City. The dinner at Moneka was an improvement on that of Squireville. As they had some vegetables. By-the-way, the people who settled this town were vegetarians, and the women wore bloomer costumes.

Book Description
No person excited greater emotion in Kansas than James Henry Lane, the U.S. senator who led a volunteer brigade in 1861–1862. In fighting numerous skirmishes, liberating hundreds of slaves, burning portions of four towns, and murdering half a dozen men, Lane and his brigade garnered national attention as the saviors of Kansas and the terror of Missouri. This first book-length study of the “jayhawkers,” as the men of Lane’s brigade were known, takes a fresh look at their exploits and notoriety. Bryce Benedict draws on a wealth of previously unexploited sources, including letters by brigade members, to dramatically re-create the violence along the Kansas-Missouri border and challenge some of the time-honored depictions of Lane’s unit as bloodthirsty and indiscriminately violent. Bringing to life an era of guerillas, bushwhackers, and slave stealers, Jayhawkers also describes how Lane’s brigade was organized and equipped and provides details regarding staff and casualties. Assessing the extent to which the jayhawkers followed accepted rules of warfare, Benedict argues that Lane set a precedent for the Union Army’s eventual adoption of “hard” tactics toward civilians. An entertaining story rich in detail, Jayhawkers will captivate scholars and history enthusiasts as it sheds new light on the unfettered violence on this western fringe of the Civil War.
