On Monday we held a council as
follows: |
[MH-A, 503] on the morning of the 23d we resumed our march for Liberty, Clay county, taking a circuitous course round the heads of Fishing river to avoid the deep water. When within five or six miles of Liberty, we were met by General Atchison and other gentlemen who desired us not to go to Liberty, as the feelings of the people were so much enraged against us. At their solicitation we turned our course, wheeling to the left, and crossing the prairie and woodland, came to Brother Algernon Sidney Gilbert's residence and encamped on the bank of Rush creek, in Brother Burket's field. |
