Letter, Marc [Parrott] to Dear Edd [Edwin Parrott]Marcus Parrott wrote to his brother, Edwin Parrott, from Lawrence, Kansas Territory. Marcus described to his brother the situation in the area stemming from the Battle of Hickory Point, which occurred six days earlier. He said that the free state men involved in the battle were arrested and held in prison in Lecompton without examination, while the proslavery men met no consequence. Marcus mentioned other incidents that led him to believe crimes and schemes were taking place against free state supporters. He also brought up money and land investments again, requesting money.1856-09-19Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins)1801-1866CreatorcreThis item was part of Territorial Kansas Online (TKO# 101970).
