Description
Reprint of a portion of Samuel J. Reader's autobiography. A free-state partisan, Reader witnessed and participated in the Bleeding Kansas conflict and later served in the Second Kansas State Militia during Confederate General Stirling Price's 1864 invasion of Missouri and Kansas. He was taken prisoner during the Battle of the Big Blue and spent several days with the Confederate forces before he managed to escape. The reprinted portion here describes Reeder's capitivity, as he was forced to march south from Jackson County, Missouri to Fort Scott, Kansas.
