These testimonies were collected, presumably by an associate of the National Kansas Committee, from a number of free state settlers along Pottawatomie Creek in Kansas Territory. Each account includes personal information about the settler (their origins, family, crops, etc.) and also testimonies of their involvement in the free state militia.
