Excerpt from Memoirs and Recollections of C. W. Goodlander of the Early Days of Fort Scott I went to my old home and during the Winter and until late spring it was a question in my mind whether to settle down in my old home or go further west than I had been before. At last, about the middle of April, my desire to go west again conquered, and besides I felt that I should keep my promise to Crawford to go to Fort Scott. So between my promise to Crawford and the desire to again obey Greeley's advice I left my old home for Fort Scott, coming west by rail to St. Louis, and from there I took a boat for Kansas City, Via the Missouri River. Arriving at Kansas City on the evening of the 27th day of April, 1858, and taking my tool chest from the boat I put it in the commission house oi Crowell Bros, and then went to the Gillis Hotel, situated on the levee (the principal hotel in Kansas City at that time).

Excerpt from History of the First Presbyterian Church of Fort Scott, Kansas: Together With a Complete List of Communicants Semi-Centennial Hymn 1909 I love Thy kingdom, Lord! The house of Thine abode, The church, our blest Redeemer saved With his own precious blood. I love Thy church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. For her my tears shall fall, For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

At noon we stopped at a place called Squireville for dinner, which place consisted of one store, one house, blacksmith shop and stage stable.

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.
