Ever Dear Cousin Mr. Jonathan Rauch
I again take my pen in hand to let you know
how we are getting along in this western country.
We are all reasonably well at the present time and
do hope these few lines may find you all enjoying the
same great blessings we are now having….. about
6 miles west of Ft. Desmoines we have been living
hear about one month….This is the County for a
young man…the prairies out hear is very large you
can hardly see . . .
Ft. Des Moines, Polk Co., Iowa, April the 22, [18]55
These letters provide a glimpse into the life of Midwestern pioneers from
1855-67, representing everyday hardships and experiences as well as
economic, social, and political climates of the time. Each writer, with pen-
in-hand, unsuccessfully encouraged Jonathan to leave his homestead and
move westward. Their eyewitness accounts surpass the legitimacy of any
history book — written letters as history occurred — firsthand witnesses
and participants recollecting activities of daily living in the midwestern
territories of Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois.
J
onathan C. Rauch lived in Ohio during the mid-19th century. Through
written correspondence, he became a primary contact to family and
friends who migrated west of the Mississippi River to pioneer unknown
territories of midwestern United States.. As he read each letter, Jonathan
placed each one back into its respective envelope and wrote “best
of the lot” alongside notations of stamp values. Such notations led to
speculation as to why this particular collection of handwritten letters
were read, saved, and preserved well into the 21st century.
