Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chapter in the Life of Charles Robinson, the First Governor of Kansas As the influence of the last named was perhaps greater in the founding and building Of the State Of Kansas than that of any other single individual of those who dwelt within its borders, he is made the central figure in the bit Of history presented in this paper. Robinson was well calculated for leadership Of the people. He was of sturdy New England stock, a descendant of John Robinson, of Plymouth Company fame. He appeared in Kan sas in June, 1854, as general agent Of the Emigrant Aid Soci ety of New England, whose purpose was to furnish free-state settlers for the Territory of Kansas, to settle, to build homes, to establish freedom by living and voting, and, if necessary, by fighting. There were strong backers to this movement, among whom were Amos A. Lawrence, Of Boston, and the in trepid Eli Thayer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Charles Robinson, the First State Governor of Kansas The writer of this biography has tried to tell a plain, unvarnished story of the life, character and services of one of the foremost men in the struggle to make Kansas a free State. He has written with the consciousness that if only the truth were told, without any excessive laudations or evidence of hero-worship, the subject of this book would stand out as a prominent character in Kansas life, with clearly defined and important relations to individuals, po' litical parties, and to the community at large.
