Big & Mysterious History of Sioux City, Iowa: Roberts and Cordura Murder, Cole's Addition

Several of the manuscripts and articles that talk about the murder of Henry Cordura and Thomas Roberts mentions they lived in the Cole's Addition section of Sioux City. This is false.

What is true is at the time the manuscripts and articles were written the Cole's Addition neighborhood of Sioux City was in existence and still is today, though it is no longer referred to as such. The Cole's Addition neighborhood did not exist in 1861 when Henry and Thomas lived there and were murdered.

Here is info about Cole's Addition:
