History of Cass County,Missouri Biography of Sam Yankee Mr. Yankee has a fund of exeedingly interesting reminiscenses. When Order No. 11 was issued in (August 25)1863, the Yankee family moved to Lafayette County. The father had already gone there. Mr. Yankee lived two miles East of Pleasant Hill, when the order to move was recieved. He and his brother were in the field stacking oats the day the order came and they saw 15 houses burning. Mr. Yankee recalls an amusing picture of haste under difficulties which was vividly impressed upon his memory at the time. A neighbor Mr. Bradshaw, had for a team a two year old bull and a cow with a blind mare in front, hitched to a two- horse wagon, having only running gears. All his household goods were piled upon the running gears and upon the household goods sat Mr. Bradshaw, glaring at the mare, who apparently was not well pleased with the company forced upon her and was objecting stenuously. Note: David Bradshaw was employed in the Timber business and most likley had the wagon bed removed for hauling timber. Order No. 11 was the most drastic and repressive military measure directed against civilians by the Union Army during the Civil War. In fact, with the exception of the hysteria-motivated herding of Japanese-Americans into concentration camps during World War II, it stands as the harshest treatment ever imposed on United States citizens under the plea of military necessity in our nation's history. Issued August 25, 1863, by Brigadier General Thomas Ewing, Jr., commander of the District of the Border, with headquarters at Kansas City, Order No. 11 required all the inhabitants of the Western Missouri counties of Jackson, Cass, and Bates not living within one mile of specified military posts to vacate their homes by September 9. Those who by that date established their loyalty to the United States government with the commanding officer of the military station nearest their place of residence would be permitted to remove to any military station in the District of the Border or to any part of Kansas except the counties on the eastern border of that state. Persons failing to establish their loyalty were to move out of the district completely or be subject to military punishment
