Welcome to a tour of my 1840s cabin!

[@wcrow59]

We very much enjoyed our stay in this cabin. Both my wife and I have many relatives from this area so it was like coming home. Hospitality was perfect. A wonderful place to get away from a busy life and just relax. 💜

Candy, I live close to Richmond, MO, where Bloody Bill Anderson was killed and is buried. It's about 50 miles west of Kansas City. I'm originally from Cass County, MO, where Quantrill and FRANK James were based during the Civil War. (Jesse was a 15-year-old boy when the war ended. He would not become famous until the 1870s, almost 10 years after the war ended.)

Hi Candy. I watched the episode of this cabin being taken down and then restored at your place. It was fascinating to watch and see the loving care that went into the project.

Thanks again Candy for looking out for our history and keeping it alive.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful little cabin. I live in Franklin County, Missouri my family still uses the original 1830’s cabin. We maintain it but it has no modern amenities. I would like to make one correction, Missouri never seceded from the Union. Here’s an excerpt from MO State Archives - A State Convention began to determine the relationship between Missouri and the U.S. Government on February 28, 1861. On March 19, the Convention voted against seceding from the Union 98-1.

[@cabincrafts2239]

Thank you! The Civil War in MO is complicated to be sure. Gov. Jackson issued an executive order to secede. The Cofederacy claimed MO as the 12th state in the Confederacy. I should have been a little more precise but in a quickie video it's hard to get all the info in. MO did not actually achieve secession, but they sure tried. I was just trying to make a point how divided the state actually was. A very rough place during the CW for both sides of the fence.
