Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Gov; R. J. Walker: With the True Story of the Rescue of Kansas From Slavery While all this is true of yourself, your late husband, by his consummate coolness, courage, careful consideration, and practical good judgment, was recognized as the head of the Free State party in all its trials, adversities and triumphs. He was made the first Governor by the suffrages of a free people, on the admission of the State into the Union, because of his political, social and moral worth. He wisely directed the policy of the State during the major part of the War of the Rebellion. In more pacific times he laid the foundation of the schools of learning for the Commonwealth, and contributed largely for their support during their infancy, donating the domain on which the State University stands, providing by will that his large estate on your demise, shall inure to that University for its endowment. Honored and loved by all classes of a free people, therefore, to you Mrs. Robinson, to the memory of your departed husband, to the few survivors of that great struggle for freedom, and to the descendents of those who are gone, to the press, the libraries of your State, and to all in every clime who, by word or deed, aided in rescuing Kansas from the curse of slavery, this volume is respectfully inscribed.
