Isaac McCoy was a Baptist missionary accused by the Mormons of organizing and leading an armed band seeking to drive them from Jackson County, Missouri, in 1833. Excerpts from McCoy's papers in the Kansas State Historical Society are presented to show that he accompanied the band entering Mormon territory as a peacemaker rather than as a man fostering violence. Some references in McCoy's papers to the value of Mormon property suggest that he was interested in speculation, but the author concludes that all of McCoy's motives were of the hightest type.
