Civil War Memoirs of David Francis Bone. Written as a letter to his daughter in 1932, Bone recalls his joining the Mo State Militia under Sterling Price and later the Confederate Army. Hence, his mother, a widow, had her Kansas farm stripped of livestock and grain by Gen. Montgomery and Jim Lane. She was forced to sell her farm for a span of horses and wagon to get her family out and to relatives in Chillicothe, MO. Bone returned home to Mo after the war, and was not well received because of his Confederate connection. Sick and weakened with "Army Complaint", he had to walk from Chillicothe to Utica, crossing the Grand River Bridge on his hands and knees. Later he would become a Methodist Circuit Rider covering Carroll, Ray, and Livingston counties, of which he gives an interesting account.
