In 1832 Mr. [Isaac] McCoy established a mission in the Indian country, seven miles from the junction of the Kansas and Missouri rivers and three miles west of the state line now between Missouri and Kansas. To this mission was brought the first printing press west of the Missouri River. On this press was printed a newspaper called the Shawanoe Sun, edited by Dr. Johnston Lykins and printed by Jotham Meeker; also a book on the colonization of the Indian tribes. This book, in the original, is in the custody of the Kansas City Public Library, and is marked 'exceptional.' Dr. Lykins translated into the Shawanoe [sic] language a part of the New Testament, which was also printed on this pioneer press.
