BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH James Sidney Rollins was born in Richmond, Kentucky, on 19 April 1812, and died in Columbia, Missouri, on 9 January 1888, at the age of 76. His parents were Anthony Wayne and Sallie Harris Rodes Rollins. He married Mary E. Hickman on 6 June 1837, and they had eleven children. Rollins studied at Washington College in Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Indiana in 1830 and from the law department at Transylvania University in Kentucky in 1834. In 1832 he served in the Black Hawk War and received the title of major. Rollins practiced law in Columbia, Missouri, and became involved in Whig party politics. He was elected to the state legislature in 1838, 1840, 1846, and 1854 and devoted his efforts to the establishment of the University in Boone County, worked for railroad construction and river improvement, and opposed extension of slavery to the territories. In 1848 and 1857 he was the unsuccessful Whig candidate for governor. He served two terms in the U.S. Congress, 1860-1864. He was a strong unionist, intro- duced railroad and telegraph construction legislation, supported land grants for agricultural colleges, and advocated the 13th amendment. In 1866 and 1868 he was again elected to the state legislature and worked to establish an agricultural and mechanical college at the university. In 1872 he lost the Democratic nomination for governor and retired from political life. Rollins was president of the board of curators of the University of Missouri for nearly 25 years, until his retirement in 1886. He played a vital role in the foundation, location, growth, and development of the university and its agricultural college. As a businessman, Rollins was involved in agriculture, real estate, and improving railroad and river transportation. He helped establish the North Missouri Railroad Company and was C1026 Rollins, James S. (1812-1888), Papers, 1546-1968 Page 2 involved in numerous other railroad ventures.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Because Rollins was active in so many fields, this collection is a valuable historical source for mid-nineteenth century Missouri. The three main areas he was involved with were politics, especially the Whig party; business, especially real estate and railroads; and education, specifically the establishment and growth of the University of Missouri in Columbia. The papers are arranged into five series: Correspondence, Legal, Business, and Politi- cal Papers, Miscellany, Account Books, and Scrapbooks, with the correspondence series comprising the bulk of the papers. The Rollins papers are a rich source of information about mid-nineteenth century politics. Rollins was active in the Whig party on both the national and state level; he was often a candi- date for state office; and he served in both the Missouri and U.S. legislatures. He corresponded with prominent national politicians such as Thomas Hart Benton, Cassius M. Clay, Henry Clay, Carl Schurz, John Sherman, and William T. Sherman. On the state level he was influential in selecting candidates and advising elected officials. He corresponded with prominent state politicians and businessmen such as Frank P. Blair, Lewis V. Bogy, Samuel M. Breckenridge, James O. Broadhead, B. Gratz Brown, Thomas Crittenden, Charles Drake, Odon Guitar, Thomas T. January, Abiel Leonard, and Isaac Sturgeon. The collection contains letters and memorandums that state Rollins's political views on various issues. Many letters also deal with political patronage and contain requests for aid in obtaining government positions. Rollins was an active businessman involved in a wide variety of business ventures. He owned a great deal of land in central Missouri and was involved in agriculture. He supported internal improvements and worked to improve river transportation, build bridges, and extend government aid to finance railroad construction in the West. He was interested in the construc- tion of railroads in Missouri and was a major stockholder and director of the North Missouri Railroad. He also had financial interests in mining operations in Montana, and he financed trading expeditions to Santa Fe and California. Rollins was instrumental in the establishment of the state university in Columbia in 1839 and the agricultural college at the university in the 1870s. As president of the board of curators he was closely involved with university affairs and played an important role in getting support for the university from the state legislature. He corresponded frequently with presidents of the university Daniel Read and Samuel S. Laws, and these letters give insight into problems at the university and the personalities and politics involved with the management of a state university. Rollins carried on an active correspondence with his family, especially his wife Mary and son James H. Rollins while the latter was a cadet at West Point. Curtis F. Burnam, a brother-in- law in Kentucky, wrote often about both family news and political events. Thomas E. Tutt, also a relative by marriage, was a banker in St. Louis who had many business dealings with Rollins. Because they held real estate in common and were partners in railroad ventures, their correspon- dence, in addition to family news, included much communication about business and politics. Another important correspondent was Rollins's close friend, the painter George Caleb Bingham. Bingham's letters contain information about his paintings, his political views and aspirations, as well as things of a more personal nature. As close friends, Rollins and Bingham named their sons after each other and often wrote about intimate personal and family problems. During the Civil War Rollins served in Congress. Although he owned slaves, he sup- C1026 Rollins, James S. (1812-1888), Papers, 1546-1968 Page 3 ported the Union, emancipation, and the 13th amendment. His correspondence and papers shed light on his views, on some battles and civilian problems, and other events in central Missouri during the Civil War period. For the social historian, there are account books and statements of household and per- sonal goods, as well as several interesting wills dealing with the disposition of slaves. There are also numerous letters giving accounts of the deaths of relatives which provide insight in nine- teenth century attitudes toward death and bereavement.
