OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. 213-226.)Annual Keport of the American Historical Association for 1894, pages(Prom the WASHINGTON: PRINTING OFFICE.GOVERNMENT 1896. 19033FEB D.ofD, > XII.-A CHAPTER IN THE LIFE OF CHARLES ROBINSON, THE FIRST GOVERNOR OF KANSAS. By Prof. Frank W. Blackmar, of the University of Kansas. Next to the settlemeut of the first colonies on the Atlantic Slope, there is no more interesting illustration of the actual development of governmentand law and the building of States than that of the settlement and development of aWestern State by Eastern immigrants. Coming from all the different States of the Union and from Europe, and entering suddenly anunim- proved country with no means of wealth except the fertile soil and other bounties of nature, theyform themselves into organi- zations, theydevelop government, make law, and establish sys- tem and order of association. More peculiar than perhaps that of any of the older States of the West, on account of the rapidity of settlement and the special struggle which went on dividing the settlers into different groups on each side of the Free-State policy,was the foundingand building of Kansas. It happenssometimes in the history of nations that a single law throws burdens upon a community and makes the settlement of questions impossible without bloodshed and strife.
