Enroute To Illinois


The Life and Adventures of Capt. Robert W. Andrews, of Sumter, South ..., By Robert W. Andrews:

"...I met Mr Middleton Brooks, who kept the tavern in Statesburg, who offered me three hundred and fifty dollars and expenses to go to Vandalia, in the State of Illinois, for his father. I had then a 'trotting horse,' which I sold and bought one more fitted for the trip. I left my men in charge of my carpentering business, and, on June 5th, 1825, started for Illinois, passing through Camblin and
