    Daniel Mulford Valentine, 1830-1907, moved to Leavenworth, Kansas Territory, from Fontanelle, Iowa, in 1859. Valentine was 28 years old at the time, and was a lawyer and surveyor. Presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln gave two speeches in Leavenworth when he visited Kansas in late 1859 and Valentine attended and wrote about both.
