TRAIL OF DEATH
On Oct. 16, 1838, 800 Potawatomi Indians camped near here at Burkhart's Encampment on their way from Indiana to Kansas. They traveled 18 miles from Paris, water scarce, day quite cold, water froze at night. Few complaints of sickness.

Routes: Northern Route Address if available: US-24, Hutsell Roadside Park, 1 mile E. of US-63 Moberly, MO USA Additional Information: I have 7 of the Missouri markers and several of the Illinois ones. My research shows at least 24 from Twin Lakes, Indiana to Osawatomie, Kansas, the length of the trail. Additional Coordinates: Not Listed Marker Website: Not listed
