the former Amy Ann Cox living next door to his family in Wyandotte Co. Kansas.
Their first child, Rachel, is soon to be born.
The Civil War is over, Kansas is healing it's bloody wounds. Folks
are ready to start finding "The Promised Land". Railroads are
beginning to spread into the Territories. There is talk of people
hitting the jackpot in the mines in Indian Territory.
