Description

The Inquirer has undertaken the defense of Dick Green, kidnapper and traitor. This Green is known in Platte County and here as a rebel and every man who defends hims is a traitor. (Researcher's note: The allegation of "kidnapping" during this time period is understood to be the abduction of Free Blacks in Kansas and their return to a Slave State.)
