Description
Kansas State Fair - - From our Leavenworth exchanges we gather the following items (text omitted):
For mares, 3 years old, David Smith, a free colored man from Platte County, Missouri, took the first premium; also on yearling mares.
Mrs. Col. Jennison took the first premium for the best mare under saddle.
(Researcher's note: AI Overview - - "Col. Charles R. "Doc" Jennison was a notorious anti-slavery Jayhawker in "Bleeding Kansas" and a Union cavalry commander during the Civil War. Based out of Kansas City (with headquarters at the state line), his unit - the 7th Kansas Cavalry - raided western Missouri to liberate slaves, burn secessionist property, and disrupt pro-slavery guerrilla networks.")Date(s) of Creation
