| 1856 |  | Letter from California - 2 1876 In this letter published in The Osage County Chronicle immediately following his first letter to the editor, Riley Hoskinson describes the community and state of agricultural in his new home of Cloverdale, Somona Co., CA: "I find everything OVERDONE. Most all the trades and professions are in this condition. Merchandising in all its various branches is quite overdone. Vine culture is entirely overdone. Grapes by tons, and of the finest quality are now wasting in the vineyards, and are common stock to any one who wants them. Excellent apples sell at 1 1/2 cents per lb. The best of wine sells at 20 cents per gallon. Provisions of all kinds are as cheap as with you, except butter, eggs and chickens. Butter is 50 cents per pound: eggs, 45 to 60 cents per dozen; chickens from $6 to $9 per dozen....Farming here pays well, as there are but few destructive insects to disturb the crops. Wheat is being sown now, and I am told, will be sown all winter. Some are planting out trees, some making garden, etc. The weather is most delightfully pleasant - no freeze - no wind - flowers of all kinds in profusion. We have excellent church and school privileges. Society of the best. The kindness so far shown us has exceeded all our expectations. We feel perfectly at ease. We have no need to be homesick. In short, we are contented and happy as it seems possible for human beings to be." Riley's opinion of California would swing very negative over the next 4 months. In May 1977, he and wife Martha would leave California for the Washington Territory. |

| 1857 |  | Letter from California 1876 Written to his hometown newspaper, The Osage County Chronicle, Riley Hoskinson tells of his and wife Martha's journey from Osage Co., KS to a new home in Cloverdale, Somona Co., CA. The trip cost the two of them roughly $70 and was quite pleasant: "From Topeka to Omaha, $11.00; from Omaha to San Francisco, on the Emigrant Train, $45.00; from "Frisco" by steamer and railroad to Coverdale, $4.25 each. The arrangements for emigrants are admirable. At Omaha the Railroad Compa- ny have a large house called the Emigrant House, where all are cared for in excel- lent style, at $1.00 per day. Here the names of all are taken that have procured tickets: and then all are mustered near the cars, and as each family or individual is called, they, or he, are placed in one of the cars, and each passenger allowed one entire seat, which must be kept till they reach Ogden, when they are changed into cars from California, in the same manner as before. On reaching Sacramento, Cal., the same nice arrangement takes place in the transfer from cars to steamer. Plenty of food, dry wood, and excellent water are furnished the entire route. Provisions plenty, to be had at most all the stopping places, and mostly at reasonable rates. Where two or more persons go together they can purchase a kind of cushion that just fills the space between the seats, and thus make a comfortable bed. Thus we found the trip quite pleasfortable (the last word likely a typo by the editor)." The final stage of the journey "...we took stage 65 miles to Albion, situated on the Ocean shore; went by wagon 10 miles out into the Red Wood region; found our children all well, and busy making railroad ties out of those monster trees, many of which are 14 feet in diameter, and 300 feet high. I helped measure one that was 45 feet around.....Splitting out and hauling railroad ties pays tolerably well, but is very hard work." |

| 1858 |  | Letter from Fisher Sisters re. Galveston Hurricane - The Iola Register, 5 Oct 1900 Fisher Sisters Heard From. An Iola friend has received n letter from the Fisher sisters, who are conducting e, hotel in Galveston, and it tells of their remarkable escape from death and loss. While the wild waters surged all about four feet deep for blocks they escaped injury in their hotel and the loss to their property will not be over fifty dollars. They expected to be swept away every minute but not one word of fear was heard in the solemn quiet of the hotel during tho trying hours of waiting. Miss Libby Fisher has been appointed by Miss Burton on her staff to help look after the relief work. She writes that a week ego the dead were still being found and buried at the rate of 100 a day. The girls have received hundreds of letters and telegrams from all over the country, from friends and strangers, congratulating them. It is certainly one of the remarknble experiences of the storm. |

| 1863 |  | Letters of Inquiry 1880 In addition to being a prolific letter writer to editors of various newspapers, Riley apparently corresponded with readers of said letters from all over the country. In this article, he relates his responses to: "One man wants to know whether it would pay him to bring out and run a portable sawmill. Another wants to know if there is an opening here for a brickyard. A third inquiries about dairying. Still another wants to know if we have room for one more blacksmith. An individual asks if a paper mill will pay. A young, hearty woman inquires if she, able and willing and not ashamed, can find work to support herself. Another lady writes: "Is there a chance for me to get a home where I can have good society and school my fatherless children?...", serving as friendly employment advisor to prospective Seattle immigrants. |

| 1879 |  | Manifest for steamship Dakota 1875 A VERY interesting article. Indicates that Martha, Stewart Hoskinson and family were in Puget Sound, Washington Territory in 4 Nov 1875. "The following is the list of passengers of the steamship Dakota, which leaves here at 9 o'clock totnigh...Mrs. Hoskinson and infant,...S. F. Hoskinson and two children..." The infant is perhaps David Hill, whom Riley and Martha adopt at some point. He first appears with the family at age 9 in the 1883 Washington Territory census. He would have been an in fact in 1875. The two children with Stewart are presumably his sons Harry and Charles. The article is interesting because tit was published one day before the first ad for selling the Hoskinson farm in Kansas appears in the Osage County Chronicle 5 Nov 1875. The farm did not sell until 1876. Also articles written by Riley Hoskinson appearing in the The Osage County Chronicle in Dec 1876 state the family did not leave Kansas until late Oct, early Nov 1876, and then to move to California not Seattle. |

As noted in the Library of Congress citation, the direction indicator at the top of the map is incorrect. North and west should be interchanged to orient the map correctly. Riley and Stuart Hoskinson served at a field hospital at Crawfish Spring, located in the lower right of the map. They were captured by the Confederate Army at this location on September 20, 1863. On September 25, they escaped and fled west to Lookout Mountain, then north across the Mountain to Chattanooga, TN, arriving at the Union Army encampment there on September 27. |

The location of the Carter House where some of the bloodiest fighting took place and where Stuart Hoskinson was wounded in action is shown just south of the town. (Note north is toward the bottom of the page.) When the battle ended, Stuart was taken to a field hospital located in the Presbyterian Church in Franklin. The Union army then retreated, leaving Stuart and other Union wounded to be captured by the Confederate Army. He remained a confederate prisoner in the church until the Union Army recaptured Franklin on Dec 17, 1864. |
