Letter, S. Medary to My Dear SirSamuel Medary wrote from Lawrence, Kansas Territory, to an unknown recipient in Washington, D. C. Medary expressed his disapproval at the way the U. S. Marshall handled the "troubles" in Linn and Bourbon counties that were brought on by free-state radical James Montgomery and his men. He added that the legislature, newly in session, was difficult to work with, as there very few "reliable democrats" in it. Medary also described the legislature's debate over Montgomery's fate.1859-01-12Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins)1801-1866CreatorcreThis item was part of Territorial Kansas Online (TKO# 101890).
