1859 I got home from Pennsylvania on Friday morning. Whittier was in the same region a month before me and he said, God might have made a more beautiful region than Chester County--but he never did. A beautiful rolling country, luxuriant as Kansas and highly cultivated as Brookline; horses and cattle pasturing in rich clover fields; hedges of hawthorn; groves of oak, walnut, pine, and vast columnar tulip trees towering up to heaven and holding out their innumerable cups of nectar to the goe can prepare for a peaceful and dignified policy. A few years later the writer of the above was fighting to preserve the Union! This was written after the brutal attack on Sumner in the Senate Worcester, January 9, 1857 I had various Kansas and other experiences, saw old Captain Brown, but not Governor Robinson.

I cannot feel as badly as you do about the war; I think that either they or we will emanrave and unenjoying! In all the really rustic entertainments I have ever seen, from Katahdin to Kansas, there has been a certain stiffness which I supposed inherent and inevitable. I remember a balleakable value to me. Three years before Higginson had written of Montgomery: Montgomery in Kansas is a noble person, born and reared in Kentucky, and whatever he does I shall expect to find righer is greatly overestimated, as in John Brown's case. James Montgomery was one of the early Kansas settlers. His house was burned by the Missourians, and he organized a band of fighters which he had led on retaliatory raids into Missouri.
