This Day in Fort Scott History June 18, 1861 The 2nd KS Infantry, including Fort Scotts Frontier Guard, is ordered from Lawrence to Wyandotte to defend the border against attack. During the long march, The night was a cool, clear, and beautiful one; the moon, like a great lantern, shone down... sheding a ghostly light over the long line of glistening guns. It was a new and strange scene to most of us. [Fort Scott Democrat]
