New Santa Fe

This little post village is situated on the west line of Missouri, about midway in Washington township. It now contains one store and post-office and a few dwelhng houses. Being on the State line between a free and a slave State, it has experienced some of the most remarkable events that have been known on a turbulent border: the Border Ruffian War of 1855-6, the awful commotions of the Civil War, and the bands of outlaws, murderers and robbers since the War of the Rebellion ceased have haunted this section to an unwonted degree.
