Ham, Eggs, and Corn Cake
Beadle, Erastus F
In 1857 Beadle left his home in Buffalo, New York, and headed west for the territories. In diary pages and letters home, he describes the hardships and amusements of travel on the "Big Muddy, " the political propaganda abroad in the "slavery stronghold" of Kansas, and the realities of doing business on the Nebraska frontier.
