The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, January 31, 1880 January 31, 1880
A prairie schooner, E.C. RANKIN, captain, his uncle, A. RANKIN, first mate,
anchored off the front door of our sanctum last Thursday night after a cruise of
eighteen days on the high seas of Missouri. They presented a reather weather
beaten appearance, and now wonder when their log book showed that their rate of
travel was, part of the time, only five miles a day. The uncle thinks that, so
far as he has seen, Kansas contains more whoel souled, large-hearted people to
the square miles than any country he ever struck. He has decided to make his
home here.
