Hendry, the deputy marshal of the Iowa Territory, sent a letter to Robert Lucas, governor of the Iowa Territory, reporting that a 'body of armed men from the state of Missouri, to the number of forty or fifty,' came into Van Buren County, 'that part of the Territory over which Missouri pretends to claim jurisdiction, and proceeded to demand, seize by force and carry away property of the citizens of the United States' as payment for taxes they claimed were due Missouri.
