The author has done [...] a fine job of weaving this information into a tale that will be of interest to anyone wanting to learn more of the first European settlers in Neosho and Labette counties.

Very enjoyable book of local history. I even took a short trip to see where Ladore once stood. Midwest history students would discover prairie town life.
