Tragic Raid as Slavery Factions Capture Prisoners
A violent incident near the Osage river three miles from the state line saw a party of pro slavery men from Missouri seize prisoners at Me Tynding Post on the military road from Port Scott to Fort Leavenworth. They stopped a wagon, compelled the group to ride, executed twelve men in a ravine, and looted the camp. Victims include M G W Andrew, John Campbell, Stilwell from Sugar Mound, and Rev Charles Reed. Several wounded and missing, with local leaders Brockett and Dr Hamilton implicated. Word spreads quickly as vigilant gatherings form at nearby posts. Descriptions note the attackers’ intent to intimidate and prevent crops in Linn County. The report aligns with later confirmation from messengers in Linn County.
