Excerpt from Early History of Leavenworth City and County: Also an Appendix Containing a List of the Lawyers, With a Sketch of Each, of the First Judicial District, and Who Signed the Roll of Attorneys From 1855 to the Admission of the State A Brief Summary of the Causes Which Led Up to the Struggle in the Early Settlement of Kansas, Between The Pro-Slavery Party on the One Side, and the Free State Party on the Other. The Situation of Affairs Along the Border in Missouri Prior to the Passage of the "Kansas-Nebraska Bill." It is not the intention or desire of the writer of these sketches to enter into a long discussion of the question of slavery as it existed in Missouri or the southern states at the time of the passage of the Douglas Kansas-Nebraska Bill by Congress, March 30, 1854, (as it was called in those days.) That subject has been fully amplified and, I might with propriety say, exhausted, by writers on both sides long years ago. It would be but threshing over old straw, with no credit or advantage to the writer and surely no pleasure or profit to the reader. In elucidating some of the peculiar and stirring events which lay along the pathway of the early settlement of the town of Leavenworth, as well as the motives which in many instances seemed to govern the actions of the participants in those events, not only in Leavenworth, but in the other towns along the border and the country surrounding, it would seem almost necessary to a full and correct understanding of those motives and of the people themselves that a succinct, truthful and concise statement of facts should be given as to the situation, character and environments of the people of the border counties of Missouri prior to the settlement of Kansas. The writer of these sketches deems himself qualified to speak truthfully and impartially. Born, reared and educated in the North at the same time with no political prejudices against the South, her people or her institutions.

Leavenworth, located in the central Cascades of Washington state, was once known as Icicle, and has been home to Native Americans, settlers, miners, railroad workers, and loggers. The native tribes came to this pristine and bountiful area to hunt game and fish for salmon. The promise of gold brought miners to Leavenworth, and once the Great Northern Railroad laid down its tracks in the late 1800s, the town moved from Icicle to its present location. The Lamb-Davis Lumber Company also built a sawmill in town, but when the railroad relocated its tracks and moved its hub to Wenatchee, the sawmill closed in 1926. The little boomtown in the Cascades went bust, but it was reinvented by its residents in the early 1960s with a Bavarian theme. The Bavarian premise of Leavenworth is still intact, and today the city draws around 2.5 million visitors annually.
