http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/85180641

A typescript copy of Rep. Russell's remarks on the House floor regarding the centennial of the New Madrid earthquakes. Attached is a copy of the letter from Eliza Bryan (1780-1866) to Lorenzo Dow (1816, Mar. 22), one of the most important eyewitness accounts of the earthquakes. Russell requested that the letter that "was recently published in the Dunklin Count Democrat, but so far as I know has never been published in any history," be inserted in the Congressional Record "in order to preserve it for future generations and in the interest of correct history."
