The Rebellion Record. - - The Platte County Sentinel of Thursday says:
On Saturday and Sunday nights the tide of emancipation made its usual outflow. Quite a number were from this immediate neighborhood.
Yesterday morning early, but in broad daylight, a caravan of 47 negroes passed through our city, (Weston, Missouri) on their way to free starvation. A short distance north of town they had a break down and were compelled to leave a large amount of their plunder on the road, consisting in part, of feather beds, bed clothing, flour, provisions, silver spoons, &c, &c.
(Researcher's note: The Platte County Sentinel was a weekly newspaper published in Weston, Missouri, during the Civil War era from 1861 to 1864.)Date(s) of Creation
