Was it:
Independence? 3,164 (We didn't pass 8,000 until after 1900)

Kansas City? 4,418

St Joseph? 8,932

Leavenworth? 7,429

Atchison? 2,616

Wyandotte? 2,609

Weston? Couldn't find the numbers, but the town was already declining due to a massive downtown fire and Missouri River floods.

Westport? Not yet in its heyday, but couldn't find numbers.



Although the population of Independence was only 3,000, there were usually many more people here because of the transient traffic headed west.

By 1860, the Santa Fe Trail departure point had shifted to Leavenworth, Ks, which had a population of 7,249.


The westward trails emigrant migration point had shifted to St. Joseph, Mo, with a population of 8,932. This may have also been why the Pony Express left St. Joseph in 1860.

St Joseph, (8,932)
Leavenworth, (7,249)
Kansas City, (4,418)
Independence, (3,164)
Atchison, (2,616)
Wyandotte, (1,920)

Lilburn W. Boggs was an Independence resident who was elected governor of Missouri. His house was located between Pleasant and Spring Street in the neighborhood of The Campus.


Boggs may be the only governor of Missouri to be the victim of an assassination attempt after leaving office.



While in office he used his executive power as the commander in chief to call up the state militia on three separate occasions in three successive years and started three different wars.


One war was the Mormon War in which he called up the state militia and provided the militia commander with a formal order that all Mormons be eradicated from the face of Missouri or be driven from the state. His order was informally called the Extermination Order.


Boggs also started another extermination war in the same manner by calling up the militia for eradication purposes.


Yet another war was started as the result of a dispute with an American neighbor.


What were the names of the other two wars that he started?

I got bogged down searching for the answers, which are deeply buried. Was one of them the MO-KAN Border War?

In addition to the "Mormon War", he involved Missourians in the Florida War and Mexican War.
