Old BUT INTERESTING
The Account of the Death of Capt
Janlcs Hip, the First Steamboat
Captain Here.

In the Fifty Years Ago" column
Of the Kansas City Times of this
weeks issue occurs little story,
which old as it is, is ever new, for it
concerns one who helped to make
the early history of St. Joseph, and
who in his time and age was known
all over the West. He brought the
first steam vessel to this city that
ever made a landing here. This is
the story:
Word was received in the city yes
terday Of the recent death at his
home in Platte county of Capt. Jam es
Kip, who was commander, nearly fif-
ty years ago, of what is said to have
been the first steamboat to make the
ascent of the Missouri river north of
Kansas City. The captains home
was at Barry, which in earlier tim es
was an important point on the old
military road from Liberty to Omaha.
At the time Captain Kip took that
steamer up the Missouri this entire
region was little more than a vast
wilderne ess, practically devoid of pop
ulation or settlement. From Liberty
Landing there was nothing along the
river until the present site of Park
vile was reached, where Parks store
was located, with WinstOn's store just
north of it. Next, opposite Fort
Lcavenworth, came the Kickapoo In
dian reser alton, then Weston and
Iatan. st. Joseph was known as
Robidoux's store, and from there to
Council Bluffs there was not a settle
ment Kansas City, Leavenworth,
Atchison and st. Joseph, now with a
combined population of more than
one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand, then had no mark or hablta-
tion on the earth's surface.
After following steamboatinG a
numbr Of years, Captain Kip became
a Forty miner going 10 California in
the gold rush, but he was not one of
the successful ones. He returned 10
his old stamping ground in the Platte
Purchase, ana from there made fire.
