Osage Chiefs Migrated From Missouri to Kansas in 1825 Treaty
Compiled by the State Historical Society of Missouri, the account recounts the Osage nation abandoning Missouri after the 1825 treaty, their years of hardship on the Kansas reservation, broken annuities, and later relief efforts. It details trader abuses, a violent hog-killing incident near Balltown, and the federal response including militia deployment and congressional acts in 1839. The narrative ends with annual pilgrimages to the Osage tombs in Missouri, the Blue Mound or crying mound, where mourners recalled their ancestors.

Cook vegetables quickly by boiling and returning water to a boil fast. Keep vegetables just tender and avoid stirring to protect vitamins. Do not add soda, do not thaw before cooking, serve raw frozen foods immediately after thawing, and reuse cooking water in soups or gravies to reclaim minerals.
