Where were your McPherson County families from,

WHAT TO TAKE: Let your trunk, if you have to buy one, be of moderate size and of the strongest make. Test it by throwing it from the top of a three-storied house; if you pick it up uninjured, it will do to go to Kansas. Not otherwise.

James Redpath & Richard Hinton Hand-Book to Kansas Territory (1859)
