Continued our
journey and reached Kansas City a little after noon. Arrested two men
pretending to be secessionists — drunk. Encamped out on snow and ice a little
distance from town. Major heard of a gang of jay-hawkers and secessionists at Independence
under Parker and Quantrell. He detailed 150 men to go after them under
Lieutenant Nettleton. Brownell and I got leave to go too. Was up nearly all
night issuing cartridges and preparing to go.
