[Hosea Stout Diary] The rain continued an hour or so and before dark the Nodaway was out of its banks notwithstanding it is a stream[.] That is very deep being about twenty feet banks. The bridge across it is about 8 or nine feet below the surface of the level ground and it was thought by us before this rise that the water would never come up to the bridge.At dark the bottom was like one continued sea and some of the tents and waggons standing in the water.
