Destructive Flood Strains Settlements Along the River
The flood swelled through the bottom lands driving families from homes and destroying goods and crops. Water rose to four to five feet in sheds and houses, with warehouses and distilleries submerged. Boats and rafts carried grain and merchandise, while lumber yards and farms faced inundation. The river kept rising, cutting off communications and prompting calls for urgent compromise to avert further conflict among settlers and decree proponents.

Local residents who had lived in Lee County identified a number of unfamiliar faces. The unrest on the half breed tract appeared to be only beginning as further smoke was seen near Madison on Thursday.
