FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
20: "In Kansas City," said Sir George
Campbell, "and still more in the suburbs of Kansas proper
the Negroes are much more numerous than I have yet seen. On
the Kansas side they form quite a large proportion of the
population. They are certainly subject to no indignity or
ill usage. There the Negroes seem to have quite taken to
work at trades." He saw them doing building work, both alone
and assisting white men, and also painting and other
tradesmen's work. On the Kansas side, he found a Negro
blacksmith, with an establishment of his own. He had come
from Tennessee after emancipation. He had not been back
there and did not want to go. He also saw black women
keeping apple stalls and engaged in other such occupations
so as to leave him under the impression that in the States,
which he called intermediate between black and white
countries the blacks evidently had no difficulty.--See
