Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of Leavenworth City and County: Also an Appendix Containing a List of the Lawyers, With a Sketch of Each, of the First Judicial District, and Who Signed the Roll of Attorneys From 1855 to the Admission of the State A Brief Summary of the Causes Which Led Up to the Struggle in the Early Settlement of Kansas, Between The Pro-Slavery Party on the One Side, and the Free State Party on the Other. The Situation of Affairs Along the Border in Missouri Prior to the Passage of the "Kansas-Nebraska Bill." It is not the intention or desire of the writer of these sketches to enter into a long discussion of the question of slavery as it existed in Missouri or the southern states at the time of the passage of the Douglas Kansas-Nebraska Bill by Congress, March 30, 1854, (as it was called in those days.) That subject has been fully amplified and, I might with propriety say, exhausted, by writers on both sides long years ago. It would be but threshing over old straw, with no credit or advantage to the writer and surely no pleasure or profit to the reader. In elucidating some of the peculiar and stirring events which lay along the pathway of the early settlement of the town of Leavenworth, as well as the motives which in many instances seemed to govern the actions of the participants in those events, not only in Leavenworth, but in the other towns along the border and the country surrounding, it would seem almost necessary to a full and correct understanding of those motives and of the people themselves that a succinct, truthful and concise statement of facts should be given as to the situation, character and environments of the people of the border counties of Missouri prior to the settlement of Kansas. The writer of these sketches deems himself qualified to speak truthfully and impartially. Born, reared and educated in the North at the same time with no political prejudices against the South, her people or her institutions.

For the past four years he has been assessor of Delaware Township, which includes the city of Lansing. In addition to his official duties Mr. Carr writes fire and tornado insurance. Mr. Carr was married November 12, 1876 to Mary P. Athey, a native of Putnam County, Indiana, and daughter of H. H. and Mary J. (Myers) Athey, the latter a native of Virginia, and the former a native of Kentucky, but moved to Putnam County when five years of age, in the early days when Indians were still in that part of the country. His father, James Athey, was a successful horseman of Kentucky, and brought fine stock with him to Indiana. _ ' H. H. and Mary Athey died in Putnam County, Indiana. The Athey children are: James H., Brazil, Indiana, who married a sister of George E. Carr; Mrs. Carr; Lucinda M., who died at the age of four years; Lawrence H., of Greencastle, Indiana; Nancy Elizabeth, of Greencastle; William D., of Singer, California (the two last named being twins); Sarah Frances, who died in infancy; Isadora, who died at the age of eleven years; Robert Milton, of Terre Haute, Indiana, and Flora M., wife of H.

He and his wife drove in a covered wagon from Putnam County, Indiana, to Council Grove, Kansas. They were one of seven teams in a train, making the trip in thirty-five days. Richard Cogan, a well known dairyman of Lansing, Kansas, is a native of this state, born at Leavenworth in 1869, the son of William and Ellen E. (Bassett) Cogan. His mother was a native of England and his father was born in Ohio. The latter owned slaves in Louisiana prior to the Civil War. He came to Leavenworth in 1865. He drove an ambulance wagon during...

Download or read book Appetite for America written by Stephen Fried and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Featured in the PBS documentary The Harvey Girls: Opportunity Bound The legendary life and entrepreneurial vision of Fred Harvey helped shape American culture and history for three generations—from the 1880s all the way through World War II—and still influence our lives today in surprising and fascinating ways. Now award-winning journalist Stephen Fried re-creates the life of this unlikely American hero, the founding father of the nation’s service industry, whose remarkable family business civilized the West and introduced America to Americans. Appetite for America is the incredible real-life story of Fred Harvey—told in depth for the first time ever—as well as the story of this country’s expansion into the Wild West of Bat Masterson and Billy the Kid, of the great days of the railroad, of a time when a deal could still be made with a handshake and the United States was still uniting. As a young immigrant, Fred Harvey worked his way up from dishwasher to household name: He was Ray Kroc before McDonald’s, J. Willard Marriott before Marriott Hotels, Howard Schultz before Starbucks. His eating houses and hotels along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad (including historic lodges still in use at the Grand Canyon) were patronized by princes, presidents, and countless ordinary travelers looking for the best cup of coffee in the country. Harvey’s staff of carefully screened single young women—the celebrated Harvey Girls—were the country’s first female workforce and became genuine Americana, even inspiring an MGM musical starring Judy Garland. With the verve and passion of Fred Harvey himself, Stephen Fried tells the story of how this visionary built his business from a single lunch counter into a family empire whose marketing and innovations we still encounter in myriad ways. Inspiring, instructive, and hugely entertaining, Appetite for America is historical biography that is as richly rewarding as a slice of fresh apple pie—and every bit as satisfying. *With two photo inserts featuring over 75 images, and an appendix with over fifty Fred Harvey recipes, most of them never-before-published.

Download or read book The Urban West at the End of the Frontier written by Lawrence H. Larsen and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have largely ignored the western city; although a number of specialized studies have appeared in recent years, this volume is the first to assess the importance of the urban frontier in broad fashion. Lawrence H. Larsen studies the process of urbanization as it occurred in twenty-four major frontier towns. Cities examined are Kansas City, St. Joseph, Lincoln, Omaha, Atchison, Lawrence, Leavenworth, Topeka, Austin, Dallas, Galveston, Houston, San Antonio, Denver, Leadville, Salt Lake City, Virginia City, Portland, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, and Stockton. Larsen bases his analysis of western cities and their problems on social statistics obtained from the 1880 United States Census. This census is particularly important because it represents the first time that the federal government regarded the United States as an urban nation. The author is the first scholar to do a comprehensive investigation of this important source. This volume gives an accurate portrayal of western urban life. Here are promoters and urban planners crowding as many lots as possible into tracts in the middle of vast, uninhabited valleys. Here are streets clogged with filth because of inadequate sanitation systems; people crowded together in packed quarters with only fledgling police and fire services. Here, too, is the advance of nineteenth-century technology: gaslights, telephones, interurbans. Most important, this study dispels the misconceptions concerning the process of exploration, settlement, and growth of the urban west. City building in the American West, despite popular mythology, was not a response to geographic or climatic conditions. It was the extension of a process perfected earlier, the promotion and building of sites—no matter how undesirable—into successful localities. Uncontrolled capitalism led to disorderly development that reflected the abilities of individual entrepreneurs rather than most other factors. The result was the establishment of a society that mirrored and made the same mistakes as those made earlier in the rest of the country.

Book excerpt: Having reported on some of the world's most violent, least understood regions in his bestsellers Balkan Ghosts and The Ends of the Earth, Robert Kaplan now returns to his native land, the United States of America. Traveling, like Tocqueville and John Gunther before him, through a political and cultural landscape in transition, Kaplan reveals a nation shedding a familiar identity as it assumes a radically new one. An Empire Wilderness opens in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where the first white settlers moved into Indian country and where Manifest Destiny was born. In a world whose future conflicts can barely be imagined, it is also the place where the army trains its men to fight the next war. "A nostalgic view of the United States is deliberately cultivated here," Kaplan writes, "as if to bind the uncertain future to a reliable past." From Fort Leavenworth, Kaplan travels west to the great cities of the heartland--to St. Louis, once a glorious shipping center expected to outshine imperial Rome and now touted, with its desolate inner city and miles of suburban gated communities, as "the most average American city." Kaplan continues west to Omaha; down through California; north from Mexico, across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas; up to Montana and Canada, and back through Oregon. He visits Mexican border settlements and dust-blown county sheriffs' offices, Indian reservations and nuclear bomb plants, cattle ranches in the Oklahoma Panhandle, glacier-mantled forests in the Pacific Northwest, swanky postsuburban sprawls and grim bus terminals, and comes, at last, to the great battlefield at Vicksburg, Mississippi, where an earlier generation of Americans gave their lives for their vision of an American future. But what, if anything, he asks, will today's Americans fight and die for? At Vicksburg Kaplan contemplates the new America through which he has just traveled--an America of sharply polarized communities that draws its population from pools of talent far beyond its borders; an America where the distance between winners and losers grows exponentially as corporations assume gov-ernment functions and the wealthy find themselves more closely linked to their business associates in India and China than to their poorer neighbors a few miles away; an America where old loyalties and allegiances are vanishing and new ones are only beginning to emerge. The new America he found is in the pages of this book. Kaplan gives a precise and chilling vision of how the most successful nation the world has ever known is entering the final, and highly uncertain, phase of its history.

Download or read book David J. Brewer written by Michael J. Brodhead and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first biography of David J. Brewer, an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1889 to 1910. Prior to rising to the nation’s highest tribunal, Brewer served as a county probate judge, a state district judge, a Kansas State Supreme Court justice, and a federal circuit court judge. He was known not only for his long tenure on the Supreme Court but also for his numerous off-the-bench statements as an orator and writer. Many of Brewer’s judicial opinions and nonjudicial utterances created controversy, particularly when he confronted the reform issues of his day. The court, then presided over by Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, has been seen as reactionary, determined to infuse the law with social Darwinism and laissez-faire ideology. Yet, contrary to this assessment of the Fuller Court as a whole, Brewer accepted most of his generation’s reform goals. He championed many forms of social legislation, the regulation of business, the rights of women and minorities, the support of charities, educational reform, and world peace. Michael J. Brodhead contends that until recently historians have carelessly and inaccurately created a false image of Brewer, partly by citing a small sample of his opinions and public statements as representative of his alleged conservatism. They have also assumed that the disputable decisions of Brewer and his contemporaries were based on ideological predilections and that precedent and recognized legal principles played no role. During his term, Brewer was the author of such notable court opinions as In re Debs, Muller v. Oregon, and Kansas v. Colorado. He supported property rights, admired honest entrepreneurial activity, and opposed the concentration of power in any form. Brewer favored the individual in all instances, whether that individual was the initiator of a great economic enterprise or a farmer struggling to extend agriculture into the western plains.
