Contemporary Newspaper Notice in Louisiana
From the Feliciana Sentinel (St. Francisville LA), 12 April, 1879:
The mayor of St. Louis has issued a proclamation warning destitute darkeys who are afflicted with the Kansas fever not to land in that city with the expectation of relief. He says: "The city is wholly unable to support them or to furnish them means of reaching their destination. There are no opportunites of obtaining work here at present, and much suffering and destitution must certainly be endured by the colored people coming without money or friends." Exoduster
Blacks, especially those who dared to become politically active, were routinely terrorized in the Felicianas by a renegade vigilante group called the "Regulators," against whom local authorities were powerless.
Yellow fever was omnipresent in the Mississippi valley at this time, but the most severe epidemic was that of 1878. --Regensturm23 (talk) 16:28, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Again, a brief notice in the Sentinel, 10 May 1879: "The latest St. Louis and Kansas scare is that the negro emigrants from the South will bring yellow fever in their rags." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Regensturm23 (talk • contribs) 23:16, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
