No place in the broad Union has had so conspicuous a history in the progress of slavery emancipation and the cvents of the war as Lawrence. the eOllnty scat of Douglas county. In enrly dill'S it was by generulconscnt called the" City of Free· dom," and was really. tluring the slll"cry agitation of 1854-5-6, the only place in the territory where it was safe to speak against the institution of sla,·ery. Its thrill. ing blstory of suffering. prcccdlDg and during the war. has give;' it the significant appellation of the" Historic City." The town was originally settled by a colony from New England. under the auspices of the New England Emigraut Aid Society, with a few from other States who fell in by tbe way. This party len Massachusetts July 17, 1854, and arrived and camped on· the site of the present State University, coming witb ox teams pur· chased in Missouri, about noon on Tuesday, August 1,1854. In two weeks aner, n second party, numbering some sixty or seventy, under the supervision of Dr. Charles Robinson and S. C. Pomeroy, arrived. These were aoon followed by a third and fourth party, which matcrinllyangmented the numbers of the colony.

TIllS s.ettlement "Was made agninst the threats of Pro.S·la""Ij· men in all directions thnt these anti.slavery men should be driven {rom the count~y. The first rallying of forces from Lawrence was on tIle night ot September SO, 1854, for the protection of Rev. Thomas J. Ferril, a Frec.stnte Methodist preacher from ~lissouri, but his assaIlants, who had sur· rounded hIS house; threatcned violeuce and the destruction of propcrty, retrented on the appearance of a body of armt...1 Frec.stllte Dlen wllhout injury to eitbcr party. On the 1st of October the tent of a Frcc·Slate man was toru down-the Instrument se· lected belDg a woman. The Pro· Slavery men mIlled to prevent its re.crecllon, about twcnty armed Free.State men rallying and re.erccting tile tent without violence on eIther side; but 11 rellewal of the "!tack was threatened the next dill', when a cui\.· sldcruble baml of Pro·Sin\"cry mcn a!,pcnred, but, &.>cing thclr opponents ready, retrenled wtth renewed threats of ,"engeance.

Early in Octob~r, 1854; Andrew II. Reeder, the first governor of Knnsas, arrived, had a reception, a festival, and n speech of welcome by Hon. S. C. Pomeroy, and made a conciliatory speech, evading the slavery question. nod recommending the cultivation of harmony and order. The first winter WIIS ono of great hardship, the people mostly living in sod houses and shanties made of clap-boards. At the first election-an election for delegates to Congress only-November 8,1854, there Was great excitement, and a man by the name of Davis attacked a pro-sla,.cry man, named Kibhee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oaths, threatening to .. cut his abolition heart out," when Kibbee shot Davis. This was the first homicide in Kansas, and occurred about two miles south of Lawrence. Kibbee was arrested, held in prison at Fort Leavenworth for a short time, bailed out, but ne"-er tried.

This WIIS the first free school In Kansas, and Was the commencement of free schOOls. The winter of 1854-.~ Was passed with no dangerous Violence, but on the 80th of lIIarch, 1855, about 700 armed men from Missouri voted at the election for members of the Legislature; but, o"ing to the overwhelming numbers of the pro.slavery men, none of them were chailenged, and the enemy, who camped on the town Site, departed for Missouri the next mom. ing. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as an obnoxious Free.State man. The first Fourth of July celebration in Lawrence was largely attended, and was defiantly Anti.Slavery, Gov. Charles Robinson delivering the address and John Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and others made a futile effort to organize the National Democratic party, but the meeting resulted in a can of the Free-State citizens for a convention at Lawrence early in August, and that meeting provided for the historic Big Springs Convention, held September II, 1855. In June, 1855, a meeting was held in Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at which resolutions were adopted to resist any laws which might be passed by the Legislature, and declaring that that body WIIS elected by armed Usurpers from Missouri. This Was really the commencement of the war in Kansas. Charles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffending :F'ree.State man, was murdered near BaMwin City, November 21, 1855, by Franklin N. Coleman, nnd \he rescue oC Jacob Branson by a band of FreeStste men from Sheriff Jones, with a posse of about an equal number, followed. This brought on wbat has become historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred Pro-Slavery men, prinCipally from lIIissouri, besieged Lawrence. and about six hun_ dred Free-State nlen, under the command of Gov. Charles Robinson as Commander_ in-Chief, and James H. Lane as Brigadier-General, defended the place. Five forts of earthwork or rifle pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for. Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched up, and the Pro.Slavery men returned to :&Iissouri. During the scige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable F~tate man, was murdered. A State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the Topeka Constitution, was held in Lnwrence·on the22d of December, 1855; Ilt which Charles Robinson received the nomination. The first Territorial Legislature passed a law inflicting the penalty of death for enticing away or in nny manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment oC not less than two years for writing, printing or publishing" noy denial of tho., right of persons to hold sla,·es in this Territory," and fixing tbe 15th day of September, 11!55, Cor the taking effect of the Jaw. 011 that day there was published III the KalWl.

Thnt night, ,!hile sitting in his tent, Jones "'asshot. and dangerousl y wounded. The act was denounced by Ii publ ic meetmg of Free-State. men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~nee WIIS again threatened wilh destruction. On the 21st of Mny, Jones, partly recovered from his wound, entered the town with a body of UnIted Slates troops, and a large number of Pro-Slaverymilitia. principally from MIssouri. and destroyed the Ji'ree-StatIJ and Herald of Freedom prmting offices, the Free-Stute hotel, Gov. Robinson's dwelling on ]I[ollnt Oread,. and pIllaged. and robbCd stores and private nouses. About the same time, Messrs. Hoyt, Stewart and Jones, Free.Stnte men, 'were murdered, and Cbarles Robinson,. John Brown. Jr., G. W. Smith, H. H. Williams, G. W. Deitzler, G. W. Brown, and. Gaius Jenkins, were imprisoned in tents ncar Lecompton, gnarded by United States. St,ldlers, having been arrested on a chnrge of treason. About the last of September 2,700 Pro-Slavery men appeared in SIght of Lawrence, and the town was tempora... rily defended by Free-Stute men, under the command of :Maj. J. B. Abbott •. until Gov. Geary, who had just arm-ed ia the territory, interposed for their protection with United States troops. A Pro-Slavery fort at Hickory Point, thirty' lUiles north of Lawrence, was enptured by a body oC Free-Stute men, two of the. enemy killed, and the night Coli owing one hundred and one of the Free-Stute men. were arrested on charges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con .. fined in prison at Lecompton. Gov. Geary, for his attempts to protect Lawrence and the Free.Stute men, had his, life threatened, and wasactunlly compelled 10 arm these prisoners for his own defense,. und finally left the territory. The Free·St:tle men from this time grew in strength,. anti in 1857 a Convention was held at 'Lawrenee which determined to participate in.' the election under the .. bogns laws." Frouds were perpetrated at Oxford, on the, Stute hne, by which it was hoped to cheat the district, of which Lawrence was a part, . out of the election of three members of the TerritorIal Council, and seven members. of the House. A party ";"ent from Lawrence to hang the judges of election at that place, and a. rene"'alof scenes of violence became imminent. The returns of the Oxford elec. tion.were rejected hy the returning bo:trd, composed of Gov. 1Valker and Secretary' Stanton, and an extra session of the Legislature called to devise measures for the tak .. ing of a fSlr vote On the Lecompton Conslitution. This constitution was formed at. u.'COmpton, and was ingeniously fram~<l for the purpose of establishing slavery in the proposed State of Kansas, without submitting that question to a vote oC the peo .. pIe, and was a cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement.. Lecompton was tben t~e heudquarters of the Pro-Slavery men, and with every obtainable vehicle, about. eIght hundred armed men, with Gen. JIlmes H. Lane at their head, escorted the trio umphant Frec-State Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the Free-Stute men were in power in the Territory, and the Territorial Legislatures oC' 1858, '59 and '50 adjourned from Lecompton and held their sessions in Lawrence. . The First and Second Kansas Regiments, and other troops for the war, were organ. lZed at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the firstyenrs of that war. August, 21, 1863. tbe lUost terrible massacre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At ~he dawn of day, WID. C. QUllntrill, a notorious bushwhacker and guerrilla, dashed Into the town, meeting many of the unarmed citizens in their night clothes. ThB town was pillaged and burned, 160 citizens were murdered, leaving 80 widows and 250 orphans, and property amounting 10 about 12,000,000 dcstroy~-d. Two solid 105 FIRST BIENNIAL REPORT. 1,locks of buildings on Massachusetts stfl"Ct, nnd nearly every good dwelling in the -city, were burned.

Page lof2 ANJ~!comtJ!J IltAidlt'J'Thtl No. 1 Source for Family HIstory Online . . Ancestry Daily News • Paula Stuart Warren, CGRS - 4/28/2005 We Should Thank Them Too! I do have to admit to having grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on in my brain. In genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course,l advocate sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of their work that also deserve our thanks. Advance Preparation Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our owr:' doing. We can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not call ahead to check the hours of the probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog of that place's holdings so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at.that place? Sharing Knowledge For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords members of a society access to many publications. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members. They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off" from work. Major Commitments In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of personnel from major repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board members of state and national level genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairs of major state, regional, and national genealogical conferences. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public Library (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Library, Daughters of the American Revolution Library, Denver (Colo.) Puqlic Library, Family History Library, Minnesota Historical Society, U.S. National Archives, Newberry Library (Chicago, III.), New England Historic Genealogical Society, Wisconsin Hi~torical Society, and many other local and state research repositories. Joining and Donating Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their employees via a genealogical society? When visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarl(ed that you did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the wonderful research resources at the place where they ~ork. Writing Articles Many of these staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast majority of these are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer �Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too! Page 2 of2 shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor. It's Not Just Time Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff person to use the repository copier or computer to handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's "regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity purposes. Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a favorable public face among thousands of researchers. That Positive Publicity Every time one of these wonderful persons serves in one or more of the positions mentioned above, the institution or society for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name ofthe repository. Every time they serve as volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their state or at the place where they work. Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical-organizations. Thank the individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can immediately name two memberships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when considering monetary donations. Their time and expertise is vital to family historians.

Early 10 Octob~r, 18M, Andrew n. Reeder, the tlrst governor of Kansas, arrived, had a reception, a festival, and a speech of welcome by lIon. S. C. Pomeroy, and made a conciliatory speech, evading tbe slavery question, and recommcnding the cultivation of hannony and ortler. The first winter was ono of grellt barnship, the people mostly living In sod houses and shanties made of clap-boards. At the first election-no election for delegatcs to Congress only-November 8,1854, there was great excitement, and 0 man by tbe name of Davis' attacked a pro-sla"cry man, named Kibbee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oaths, threatening to "cut his abolition hean out," w,hen Kibbee shot Davis. This was the first homicide in KBDBIIB, and occurred about two miles south of La"'renee, Kibbee was arrested, held In prison at Fon LeB\"enworth for a short time, bailed out, but never tried. On tho 10th of January. 18M, a scbool "'as established. Edward Fitch, teacber, supponed by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This was the first free school In Kansas, and was the commencement of free 'schools. The winter of 1S.5f-.~ was passed 'with no dangerous violence, but on the 80th of :March, 18M, about 700 armed men from Missouri voted at the election for members of the Legislature; but, o"ing to the overwhelming numbers of the p~lavl'ry men, none of them were chaileuged, and the enemy, who camped on the town slle, departed for Missouri the next mom· ,fng. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as an obnoxious Free..8tate man. ' The first Fourth of July celebration In Lawrence was largely attended, and was defiantly Antl.Slavery. Gov. Charles Robinson deliveriug the address and John Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and others made a futile effon to organize the National Democratic party, but the meeting ~ulted in a call of the Free·State citizens for a convention at Lawrence early In August, and that meeting provided for the historic Big Springs Convention, held September Ii. 1855. iii June, 18M. a meeting was beld In Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at which resolutions were adopted to resist any laws which might be passed, by the Legisl.. ture. and declaring that that body was elected by armed usurpers from ![issourl. Thla was really the commencement of the war In Kansas. Charles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffendlng :Frec-State man, was murdered near Bal<1wln City, November 21. 18M. b1 Franklin N. Coleman, and \he rescue of Jacob Branson by a band of FreeState men from Sherifi' Joncs, with a posse or about an equal number, followed. This brought on what has becomo historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred Pro.Slavery men, principally from Missouri, besieged Lawrence, and about six hun. dred Free.Staie nlen, under tho command of Gov. Charles Robinson as Commander. In.Chlef, and James H. Lane as Brigadier.General. defended the place. Five forts of earthwork or rifle pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for. Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched up, and the Pro-Slavery men returned to ![issourl. ,Durlog the scige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable Free.State man, was murdered. A State cOnvention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the Topeka Constitution, was held In Lawrence on the 22d of December, l~!i; at which Charles Robinson received the nomination. The first Territorial Legislature paSsed a law Infiicting tho penalty of death for enticing away or In any manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment or not II'8S than two years for writing, printing or publishing" any denial of tho- right of )IeI" sons to hold sla,'cs In this Territory," and fixing the 15th day of September, 1!!S5, for tho taking effect of the law.

Soon afU:r Jonea appeared in the town with n cOlllpnny of United 8tates dragoons, and Ilrr~'Sted a. dozen prominent Jo'rce.stato men. That night, ~hlle sitting in his lent, Jones was shot-' and dangerously wounded. The act wns denounced by Ii public meetlDg of Free-State· men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~nce wns Ilgain threatened with destruction. On the 21st of Mny, Jones, pllrtly recovered frOID bis wound, entered the town witb a body of United Sllltes troops, and a large number of Pro.Slavery militia, prineiplllly froID Mlssonri. and (lestroyetltbe Free-8t.n.u and Herald of F'ru. dom prInting offices, the Free.State botel, Gov.

About the last of September' 2,700 P~lavery men appeared in sIght oC Lawrence, and the town was telDpora.· rl1y. defended by Free..State men, under .the command of Maj. J. D. Abbott •. until Gov. Geary, who had just arm'ed in the territory, Interposed for their protection witb United States troops. A Pi'oSlaver'y fort at Hickory Point, thirty' tulles north of La\vrence, was citptured by a body of :Free-State men, two oC the' enemy killed, and the night following one hundred and one of the Free-State men were arrested on ebarges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con· lined in prison at LecoDlpton. Gov. Geary, for bis attempts to protect Lawrence and the Free.State men, 'had his, liCe tbreatened, and wasactulllly compelled to arm these prisoners for his own defense,. nnd IInally left the territory. The Free·St:lle men from this time grew in strength, and in 1857 a. Conventionwas helll at Lawrence which determined to participate in.' tbe election under the to bogns laws." Fmuda were perpetmted at Oxford, on the, State hne, by "'hlch it was hoped to eheat.the district, of which Lawrence was a part, out oC tbe election oC three .members of the TerritorIal Council, and seven members. of the 1I0use. A pafty went from Lawrence to hang the Judges oC election at that place, and a. renewal of scenes of violence becilme imminent.

I do have to admit to ha,ving grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on in my brairf. I n genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course, I advocate sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of their work that also deserve our thanks. . Advance Preparation Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our own doing. We can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not ·call ahead to c.heck the hours of the probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog of that place's holdings so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at that place? Sharing Knowledge For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords members of a society access to rpany pubHcations. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members. They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off' from work. Major Commitments In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of personnel from major repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board members of state and national level genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairS of major state, regional, a!1d national genealogical conferen~es. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public Ubrary (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Ubrary, Daughters of the American Revolution Ubrary, Denver (Colo.) Pu~lic Ubrary, Family History Ubrary, Minnesota Historical Society, U.S. National Archives, . Newberry Ubrary (Chicago, III.), New England Historic Genealogical Society, Wisconsin Hi~orical'Society, .and many other local and state research repositories.' . Joining and Donating Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their employees via a genealogical society? When visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarked that you did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the wonderful research resources at the place where they "York. . Writing Articles Many of these -staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast majority ofthese·are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer �Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too! shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor. It's Not Just Time __ Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff person to use the repository copier or computer to handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's "regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity purposes. Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a'favorable public face among thousands of researchers. That Positive Publicity Every time one ofthese wonderful ,persons serves in one or more ofthe pOSitions mentioned above, the institution or SOCiety for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name of the repository. Every time they serve as volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their . . state or at the place where they work. Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical organizations. Thank the individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can immediately name two memberships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when considering monetary donations. Their time and , expertise is vital to family historians. Paula Stuart-Warren, CGRS, is a professional genealogist, consultant, writer, and lecturer. She has lectured all across the U.S. and coordinates the Intermediate Course, American Records and Research at the annual Salt Lake I nstitute of Genealogy. She is co-author of Your Guide to the Family History Ubrary and an author for genealogical periodicals including Ancestry Magazine. She is a resident of St. Paul, / Minnesota, and spends many weeks each year at the Family History Library and the U.S. National . Archives. Her roots include ancestors from seven different countries and researching them has given her broad experience and an occasional headache or two. Comments will reach her at PSWResearch@comcast.net. Paula is unable to answer individual genealogical research inquiries due to the volume of requests received. . Copyright 2005, MyFamily.com.

Early in Octob:lr, 1854, Andrew II. needer, the first governor of Kansas, arrived, ,had a reccption, a festival, and a speech of welcome by Hon. S. C. Pomcroy, and made a conciliatory speech, evading tile slavery question, nnd recommeoding the cultivation of harmony' and order. The first "'Inter WIIS one of great hardsbip, tbe people mostly living In sod houses, and sbanties made of clap-boards. At thc first election-no,election for delegates to Congress only-November' 8, It154, tbere W88 great excitement, and' D-man by, tbe name of Davis attacked a pro-sla"cry man, Damed Kibbee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oatbs, threatening to "cut his abolition beart out," when Kibbe8 sbot Davis. Tbls was the first bomicide"in Kansas, and occurred about two miles south of Lawrence, Kibbee was arrested, held In prison at Fort'Lea\'coworth for a short time, bailed out,but ne\'er tried. On the 10th of January, 1855, a &chool was established, Edward Flteb, teacher, supported by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This was the first free scbool In Kansas, and was the commimcement of free scbools. The winter of 1854-.') was passed with no dangerous violence, but on the 80tb of 1IIarcb, 18511, about 700 armed meD from Missouri voted at the election for member.! of the Legislature; but, o"'ing to the overwbelming Dumbers of the pro-slavery men, Done of them were chailengcd, and the eDemy, who camped on the town site, departed for Missouri the next mom· ing. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as an obnoxious Free-8tate man. ' The first Fourth of July celebration in Lawrence was largely attended, and was defiantiy btl.Slavery, Gov. Charles RobiDson de\i\'ering the address and John , Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and otberS made a futile effort to organize tbe N aUonal Democratic party, but the meeting resulted in a call of the Free-State citizens for a convention at Lawrence eariy in August, and tbat meeting provided for the historic Big SpriDgs Convention, held September Ii, 1855. In June, 1855, a meeting W88 held in Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at "'blch resolutions were adopted to resist any laws wblcb mlgbt be passed by the Legislatore, and declaring that that body was elected by armed usurpers from )lissourl. Thla was really the commencement of the war io Kansas. Cbarles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffendlng :Free-8tate man, was murdered near Baldwin City, November 21, 18511, by Franklin N. Coleman, and ~he rescue br Jacob Branson by a band of FreeState men from Sberiff Jones, with a posse of about an equal number, followed. ' This brougbt on what has become historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred .Pro-Slavery lI!en, principally from llissourl, besieged Lawrence, and about six hundred Free-State men, under tho command of Gov. Charles nobinson as Commanderin-Chief, and James H. Lane as Brigadier-General, dcfended the place. Five forts of earthwork or rifte pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for. Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched uP. and the Pro-Slavery men returned to )[jssouri. During the seige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable Free-8tate mao, "-as murdered.

Soon after Jones appcan.'<1 in the town with n cOlllpany of United 8tates drllg<lOns, and arr~'Sted a. dozen prominent ~'rce-State men. Thnt nio-ht, while sitting in his tent Jones was shot. . and dangerously wounded. The act was d~non~ccd bya public mcetl~g of Free-State· men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~ncc wns again threatened with destruction. On Ule 21st of May, Jones, partly recovered frOID his wound, entered the town with a bOdy of UDlted Slales troops, and a large number of Pro-Slavery militia, principally froID MIBSOuri. and destroyed thc P,.ee-StnU and HdTald of F,.eedo ... printing ollIces, the Free.Statc Ilotel, Gov.

Oaius Jenkins. wcre imprisoned in tents near Lecompton, goardetl by United States. sol(lIel'8, having been arrested on a chnrge of treason. About the last of September 2,700 PrGSlavery men appeared in sight of Lawrence, and the town was tempora..· rUy. defended by Free.State men, under the cnmmand of 1Ilaj. J. B. Abbott,. unUl ~ov. Oeary! ~ho had just arm'cd in the territory, interposed for their protection wllh UDlted States troops. A Pro-Slavery fort at Hickory Point, thirty· JUlies north of Lawrence, was captured by a body of :Free-State men, t,,·o of the· enemy killed, and the night following one hundred and one of the Free.State men: were ar'rested on charges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con· . fined in prison at Lecompton. Gov. Geary, for his attempts to protect Lawrence and the Frce.State men, had his, . life threatened, and was actually compelle<l to arm these prisoncrs for his defense,. aOlI ~nally left the temtory. Tbe Free-St:lIe men from this tiine grew in strength, and 10 1857 tL Convention was bcld a.t Lawrence which determined to participate In.· tho election under the .. bogus laws.;' Frouds were perpetrated at Oxford, on the, State hne, by whIch it was boped to cheat the district, of which Lawrence was a part, out of the election of three members of the Territorial Council, and seven members. of the 1I0use. A party went from Lawrence to hang the judges of election at that place, and a. reuewal of sccncs of violence became immincnt. The returns of the Oxford elec. tiou "'cre rejected by the returning bonrd, composed of 00". Walker and Secretary Stanton, and an extra session of the Legislature called tl) devise lDeasures for the tak. iug of a fRlr voto on the Lecompton. Constitution. This constitution was formed at. u-compton, and WI\S ingeniously frame\l for the purpose of cS\:llllishing slavery in the proposed State of Kansa.s, without sUllmitting tbat question to a vote of the poo. pie, and wasa cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement. Lecompton wa.s thcn the headquarters of the Pro.Slavery men, and with every obtaiuable vehicle, about. cight hundred armL,<l men, with Gcn. Jamcs H. Lane at their head, escorted the trio umphant Frcc-StRte Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the ··Free-State men were In power In the Tcrritory, and tho Territorial Legislatures of 1858, '59 and '50 adjourned from Lecompton and held their aessions in Lawrence. The First and Second Kansas Regiments, and other troops for the war, were org~. Izcd at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the first years of that war. August, 21, 1863. the moot terrible maSsacre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At ~he dawn of day, ,":m: C. QUllutrlll, a nOlorious bushwhacker Rnd guerrilla, dashed luto the to~n, meetlug many of the unllrmed citizens In their night clotbes. Tho town.",·as pillaged Slid burned, 180 citizens were murdered, lellving 80 widows Rnd 230 orphans, and property amounting to about $2,000,000 dC9troy~-d. Two solid 0"" blocks of buildings on Massachusetts strt'Ct, and ncnrly every goOd dwelling in till'. -city, were burned.

J'Tt/B A-MhJRr.!CDme I~" No. 1 Source for Family History Online d. Ancestry Daily News V Paula Stuart Warren, CGRS - 4/28/2005 We Should Thank Them Too! I do have to admit to having grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on in my brain. In genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course, I advocate sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of their work that also deserve our thanks. Advance Preparation Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our own doing. We can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not call ahead to check the hours ofthe probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog ofthat place~s holdings so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at that place? . Sharing Knowledge For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many . genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords members of a society access to many publications. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members. They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off" from work. Major Commitments In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of perSonnel from major repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board memberS of state and national level genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairs of major state, regional, and national genealogical conferences. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. . The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public . Library (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Ubrary, Daughters of the American Revolution Ubrary, Denver (Colo.) Public Library, Family History Library, Minnesota Historical SOciety, U.S. National Archives, Newberry L.ibrary(Chicago, III.), New England HistoricGenealogical Society, Wisconsin Historical SOciety, and many other local and state research repositories. JOining and Donating Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their employees via a genealogical society? When Visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarked that you did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the wonderful research resources at the place where they Y{ork. Writing Articles Many of these staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast majority of these are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer �Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too! shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they· work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor. It's Not Just Time Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff person to use the repository copier or computer to. handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's "regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity purposes. Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a favorable public face among thousands of researchers. . That Positive Publicity . Every time one of these wonderful persons serves in one or more of the positions mentioned above, the institution or society for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name of the repository. Every time they serve as volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their state or at the place where they work. Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical organizations. Thank the individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can immediately name two member:ships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when conSidering monetary donations. Their time and expertise is vital to family historians.
