Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs and Recollections of C. W. Goodlander of the Early Days of Fort Scott About the first of May, 1855, I took Horace Greeley´s advice: "Go west, young man, and grow up with the country," and left my native town of Milton, Pennsylvania. I first stopped some four months in LaPorte, Indiana, and went from there to Dixon, Illinois, where I stayed some four months. On the first day of December in company with a fellow-carpenter I went to Fulton City, Illinois, on the Mississippi River, with the intention of taking a boat for New Orleans. The day before we got there the last boat for the season went down the river, so we stopped at Fulton City and went to work at our trade of carpentering on a large hotel that was being built there, called the Dement House. I stayed at Fulton City until September, 1857, when I went to St. Louis, and was there until the second day of December, when I engaged passage on a boat for Pittsburg. The same day I went up to the old Planters Hotel to get my dinner before leaving, and in the hotel I met George A. Crawford, having become acquainted with him in Illinois during the spring of ´57. He says to me: "Come, go along to Fort Scott; I and some others have started a good town there." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
