KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE IN NEBRASKA CITY, NEBRASKA

[L.C. BAKER]

When I say that I stumbled onto the photograph S.D., I didn't mean that I personally held it in my hand. I found it published on an architectural page that was pointing out things about the front structure of Arbor Lodge and the original entry on the back of the photo. It was in a box of photos in the personal belongings of a very special architect. The person posting the photo is another architect that purchased the photos of the man for a keepsake. It was really a fluke that it was published for one reason and I discovered it for what it was really a photo of. All the right faces in the right place.....

We can all read what Olson repeated and take it as the truth and repeat it to a new generation.....OR...we can start telling the truth and change wiki forever. LOL!

What They said happened....
In 1850, Morton enrolled in the University of Michigan. In his junior year he attempted to launch a new periodical, the Peninsular Quarterly and University Magazine, which proved short-lived. He was an active member of the Chi Phi fraternity, and opposed an attempt by the faculty to discourage such secret societies.[5]

In May 1854, six weeks before he was due to graduate, the university's Board of Regents dismissed the head of the medical department, Dr. J. Adams Allen, a popular faculty member. That evening, Morton, a friend and admirer of Allen's, addressed a mass meeting protesting Allen's dismissal and other seemingly autocratic actions taken by university officials. On the following day, Morton was expelled from the university, ostensibly for excessive absences and for general inattention to his duties as a student. His expulsion prompted protests from the student body and across the state. He was readmitted after signing a very conditional document, stating that if the charges against him had been true, then his expulsion would have been justified. The readmission did not last: the university's president, Henry Philip Tappan, released a version of his statement from which the conditionals had been removed, making it a straightforward admission of fault; Morton wrote a letter to the Detroit Free Press in which he retracted his original statement, declaring that he had not "...meanly petitioned, implored and besought the Faculty for mercy, for... the Latin-scratched integument of a dead sheep". He was re-expelled and not allowed to graduate with his class. In 1856, under unclear circumstances, he was awarded an honorary Bachelor of Arts degree by Union College of Schenectady, New York; in 1858, the University of Michigan faculty reversed his expulsion and awarded him a diploma.[Olson history of Neb.]

What REALLY happened...



I gotta admit that the Olson/ Morton version is one heck of an excuse, it took up much more space..... L.C.

"To win distinction in the private walks of life requires ability and character of high order, and which are rather a hindrance than a help to political preferment; while the successful politician, though inferior in these qualities, is kept in the public eye for a season by virtue of his official place. It is not a pleasing or a promising reflection that the brainiest and best men of Nebraska, who in early life took an active part in politics or aspired to political careers, have retired---or, more frequently, have been retired---to private life to the great injury of public interest." - J.S. Morton

Put your K.G.C. thinking cap on when you read this account of an early struggle for power in Nebraska between the K.G.C. backed Democrats and the Radical Republicans backed by the abolitionists. Look hard at governor Richardson before he was Governor Richardson.

THAT ONE FRIEND

Did you ever have that one friend when you were growing up that knew just about every bad thing you ever did, and just enough information about it to be a big blabber mouth and get you caught up in something that they had no idea about?

Something like that Rebel. It had a skull and bones involved with it, and the rising sun, and a crescent moon or two here and there like the one on Logan Enyart's Monument at Wyuka. If you want to read about one of Jesse W. James's best friends and Brother, It would be worth your while to look into Logan Enyart and his first wife Lucy. She was the sister of Richard Chiles. Richard was the man in charge of calling up the first Rebel troops in Missouri, but as soon as the war started he resigned his commission to join up with Quantrills Raiders as dis several of his blood brothers and kin. Logan Enyart was a captain in the C.S.A. and one of the most die hard Rebels to walk the face of the Earth. He was wounded four times and never left the line of battle. The last time he was shot by a mini ball that hit him in the face and took out his left eye, still he remained steadfast on the front line and encouraged his men to fight harder shouting out commands! It is no wonder that Jesse came to Nebraska City to visit Logan quite often and for many different reasons.

No doubt that Enyart, and Nuckolls and the old pioneers were KGC. J.S. Morton O.A.K. KGC paved the way. What is interesting is the G.A.R. building. Few of them Yankees snuck in the back door. This leads us back to the fire. What a better way to build up a town than with insurance money. They need to spruce up the place if it was going to be the capital city.

S. F. Nuckolls and Rube Williams

I'm gonna tell you guys the story of Rube Williams who was the indentured servant of a Dr. in the Abolitionist town of Tabor, Iowa. Tabor was the same town that the secret six bought and sent guns to for John Brown to pick up before his ill-fated Harper's Ferry raid. In Nebraska City, Nebraska just 15 miles West and on the other side of the Missouri River, there was a Knight named S.F. Nuckolls who had built that town at that place to do battle with the abolitionist for the benefit of the K.G.C. Mr. Nuckolls had two teenage slave girls run away one December night and they were rowed across the Missouri River among the flowing frozen chunks of ice by a man from Tabor.( an amazing death defying feat in itself) The next day S.F. Nuckolls mounted a party of five of his men and they ferried themselves and their horses across the Missouri and hurried to Tabor to try and head off the underground rails and catch up with his slaves before they got away too far. When they got to Tabor which had no shortage of Abolitionist to choose from, they went to the Dr.'s house that Rube Williams was indentured to. He was a man that was highly suspected by Nuckolls and his gang of being part of the underground railroad that had "Stolen" his property, being the two teenage negro slave girls. Rube Williams said something to Mr. S.F. Nuckolls that he did not take kindly and he brought down the butt of his rifle so hard on the side of Rube's head that it knocked him out cold when he awoke he was almost completely deaf from the damage to his skull. The Tabor Sheriff arrived on the scene and the five Nebraska men including S.F. Nuckolls were arrested and taken to the Tabor Jail for the assault on Rube Williams and damages to the Dr.'s residence. Upon arriving at the jail S.F. Nuckolls posted bond for all of the men paying cash in gold. However, the Tabor Sheriff refused to release two of Nuckoll's men for fear that the slave owner from Nebraskan would not return to the free state of Iowa for trial over assaulting a negro in the abolitionist town. Nuckolls and two of his men were released from the Tabor jail and they went back across the Missouri River to Nebraska City where a K.G.C. castle was prevailing over the city and government offices. It did not take long for Mr. S.F. Nuckolls to mount an armed 75 man posse to return to Tabor Iowa with the next day and demand the release of his other two men. They were released to him at gunpoint and they road away with them back to Nebraska City. That night the Tabor hardware was broken into and several kegs of gun powder were stolen from within. Not far from town on that night there was an abolitionist backed church that was blown to splinters with that gun powder. Mr.Stephen Nuckolls would end up hiring a professional slave hunter to track the two teenage negro girls all the way to Chicago where he found them.....but that is another story! The moral of the story? During my research I went to the Tabor town hall to review their cemetery records and see if I could find Rube Williams final resting place to see if the story was real. I was informed that there were NO black people buried in that cemetery and when I told them about the story of Rube Williams they had never heard of him. That means that all of this information has been lost to time and absorbed by what ever they are calling history now in schools. For the record there is more than one black person in the Tabor Cemetery How can they expect us to walk in the shoes of someone that was swept away by lies?

Well, in case your wondering about the slave girls.........
if you want to hear the candy coated version of it that has been printed.....In November, 1858, Eliza, a slave girl owned by Mr. S. F. Nuckolls at Nebraska City, ran away, and with her another slave girl. Mr. Nuckolls (after whom Nuckolls County was named) was very angry and offered $200 reward. With the aid of the United States marshal he began a search of the houses at Tabor for his slaves. The girls were not there, but one man whose house was being searched was struck on the head by an officer and badly wounded. For this Mr. Nuckolls had to pay $10,000 damages. Eliza escaped to Chicago, where she was arrested the next year and was about to be returned to her master when a mob rescued her and she was hurried over to Canada. Mr. Nuckolls sued sixteen Iowa people for helping Eliza to escape, but the war soon came on and he did not win his suit............BUT the truth of the matter was much larger than that in America's true slave owning History and it was just as big of a legal case concerning the Bloodhound Laws by 1860 as the Dread Scott case was concerning slavery. Mr. Nuckolls and his slave hunter tracked the two girls all the way to Chicago. There they spotted Eliza, Nuckoll's slave girl as in he actually only owned one of the two runaways. His man tried to take her into custody on the street and she began screaming out loud as the two struggled and then Nuckolls himself joined the struggle. Soon they were surrounded by a large crowd of abolitionist and concerned Chicago citizens who fought them off and kept the two men at bay until the police arrived on the scene. They were all three taken to the police station to sort out the matter. Meanwhile the crowd of inflamed abolitionists had grown into a shouting mob outside the police station where Nuckolls, his slave hunter and the negro girl were being held. He had produced documents proving that he did in deed own the slave girl Eliza, and the Bloodhound Law was in his favor. According to the law of the land, Nuckolls and his property should be set free and aloud to return to Nebraska Territory without harassment and with the assistance of the local police. Fortunately for the slave girl, there was an ever growing lynch mob of abolitionist outside the jail and they could be heard shouting now from inside the jail. One abolitionist came up with the plan to press charges against the slave girl Eliza in order to keep her safely in police custody. This meant she would have to be tried etc. Nuckolls was infuriated to say the least, but not nearly as much as he was when they had to dress him up in a disguise to get him out of the jail alive and away from the lynch mob of abolitionists. He traveled all the way back to Nebraska empty handed. The outcry of injustice was heard all the way to Washington D.C. and President Buchanan. The only thing to end it was the first shots at Fort Sumter and the rest is history. Now you know the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say!

L.C. that's a fancy stone but if he got $10,000 of Nuckolls. It must have double pissed him off. Lucky he didn't turn the Missouri bushwackers loose on the good town of Tabor. The Missouri bushwackers did try to burn down the Davis county courthouse during the Civil War. The story is told In this. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=869879483076840&id=526228564108602&__tn__=%2. As you might have to hunt but it was a university of Iowa PDF.

That figure is not correct. As it turns out Rube bought himself free with money that he did receive from the Dr, who he was indentured to. It was actually the Dr. that sued S.F. Nuckolls for the loss of Rube when he became deafened by the blow to his head. In court the Dr. from Tabor claimed Rube was useless to him now that he was deaf and Nuckolls had to pay him. With Rubes share he built himself a house and a barn near Tabor where he was visited some time after by two gentlemen looking for work. He told them he had work for them and let them stay in his barn. That night Rube was awakened by a bright glow on his bedroom ceiling in the dark of night. The glow was his new barn burning and the two men were gone. This was a rough place back in those days, trouble came in all shapes and sizes from almost every direction!

"Their Gold" in this case was the coming of transcontinental railroad and it was suposed to come to Nebraska City as far as the K.G.C. was concerned. When Cuming made Omaha the Capitol City of Nebraska it meant the rails were coming there. This is why they had to leave Omaha and turn back south before heading west, otherwise they would have missed all of that K.G.C. planning and investing straight west of Nebraska City. Taking the bread off of the K.G.C.'s table will get you killed by a sudden illness..... a very short and lethal one.

The K.G.C. were always concerned with what they had sewn for future generations to reap, it was second nature by the time the O.A.K. they had birthed took over the riegns of control.

L.C. what were the falsehoods? Have to agree with that statement. So many things taken as truth are myths. No less than three TV programs are on that tell of the myths of history and tells the true story.
