Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
We travelled this day out of the state of Missouri into the state of Arkansas and was glad to
get out of the state for a season. We felt that the Lord had preserved our lives while travelling through
Jackson County in one instance in a miraculous manner we came suddenly upon a grog
shop filled with about 60 of the mob with none outside but the door was open which we
had to pass right by, but just before we got against it some man shut the door so we passed by
unpercieved we had travelled near two miles beyond the shop before we were discovered
then the came out & parraded before the House & looked at us but did not feel disposed to follow
us but had we been seen while passing the House it would probably have cause us our lives
we travelled 24 miles on this 28th day & spent the night with Mr Andrew Nail in Washington County
