Letter, Nelson Rusk to Mr. [William] Barnes Author: Rusk, Nelson Date: April 26, 1856 Nelson Rusk, writing from Kansas City, Missouri, described for William Barnes, secretary of the New York State Kansas Committee, some of the difficulties he experienced during his journey to Kansas with a party of settlers from New York.
