  • 268 Kansas History William Allen White and the Russian Revolution
    William Allen White (1868-1944) was the editor of the Emporia Gazette, and in his capacity as a journalist, he was invited to attend an aborted peace conference at Prinkipo in Turkey in early 1919, a trip that instilled in him a lifelong interest in Russia and its politics. Courtesy of the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, D.C. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Winter 2015–2016): 268-282 268 Kansas History William Allen White and the Russian Revolution by Norman E. Saul illiam Allen White is best known as a homespun and witty commentator on Kansas and American political, social, and economic life of the first half of the twentieth century. He accomplished this through editorials in his Emporia Gazette, syndicated columns and articles, and several popular books directed at mainstream, middle-class Americans. His role in and writings on international affairs are played down, in fact barely mentioned, not only by his biographers but by White himself in his classic autobiography.1 Yet White’s Wextensive correspondence, newspaper accounts, and many editorials reveal considerable interest in the far abroad, especially in what was happening in Russia, and to Russia, through the impact of World War I and by the consequences of the long-term and deeply ingrained radical socialist movement. My interest in this other side of the “sage of Emporia” stemmed from learning of his “surprise” appointment by President Woodrow Wilson as one of two American delegates to the aborted Prinkipo Conference in early 1919.2 A subset of the Paris Peace Conference, this was an attempt by the peacemakers at Paris to bring the various Russian political factions, including the Bolsheviks, together to try to sort out their differences in a neutral setting.

    The Progressive Diplomats of the “New Era”: Private Citizens in American-Russian Relations, 1917-1921 Maxwell Schwartz Seminar Instructor: Professor Kobrin Second Reader: Professor Amar 6 April 2016 Schwartz 2 Acknowledgements It has been a great privilege to study in the History Department during my years as an undergraduate. I begin, then, thanking all of those professors and teaching assistants who helped cultivate my interest in history and my skills as a historian. I am especially grateful to those faculty members who aided me in this project. Professor Kobrin, my thesis seminar instructor, and Professor Amar, my second reader, were both tremendously helpful as I navigated my way through a research project of this size for the first time. Their efforts have clearly enhanced my own, and their dedication to my project is sincerely appreciated. I also appreciate the generous help of the staff of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library here at Columbia. I am thankful to my fellow thesis seminar classmates who spent time each week to read my work even as they had their own theses to complete. Learning and writing with them was a pleasure. Finally, I am indebted to my parents and sisters for all that they do for me.

Raymond and Margaret Dreier Robins The original owner of the hilltop, Byrd Pearson (1803-1860) brought his wife and four children from South Carolina in 1845. The 1850 census for Benton County (now Hernando, Pasco and Citrus) shows him as a lawyer and planter, owning 30 slaves. In 1851, a visitor and son of Alabama's Governor Clay wrote home describing “comfortable log cabins and a summit crowned with orange, lemon and fig trees”. He had 75 acres in corn and 75 sugar cane planted on old Indian fields that sloped down to Lake Lindsey. Later in He had 75 acres in corn and 75 1852 he sold his land and moved his sugar cane planted on old Indian family to Jacksonville. One of his fields that sloped down to Lake daughters married Francis Philip Fleming, Lindsey. Later that year he sold his Governor of Florida who served from land and moved his family to 1889 to1893. Jacksonville. One of his daughters married Francis Philip Fleming, Governor of Florida who served from 1889 to1893. Byrd Pearson sold the hilltop, which he called Mt Airy, to Francis Ederington in 1851. The Ederingtons moved their three daughters, animals, household goods and their slaves down the long wagon trek from South Carolina to Chinsegut Hill. They had an additional eight children before their deaths. The oldest daughter, Charlotte (1846-98) was left to raise her young siblings. She is shown here with her husband Dr J R Snow.

  • David R. Francis, Ambassador to Four Russian Governments
    David R. Francis, Ambassador to Four Russian Governments Vladimir Noskov David R. Francis presented himself as the “United States Ambassador to Russia under the Czar, the Provisional Government and the Bolshevists.” Actually he represented his country before four Russian Governments: the Imperial, Provisional, Soviet, and Northern ones. During his stay in Russia Francis changed the place of his residence three times moving from Petrograd frst to Vologda and fnally to Archangel. He was an eyewitness of the greatest events in history of Russia: the First World War, February Revolution, downfall of the Empire, October Revolution, and Civil War. During two and half years of his residence in Russia, Francis met a lot of prominent people of the time, including Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia, and Vladimir I. Lenin, the frst Soviet leader. Francis’ diplomatic experience was unique and had no parallel in the history of Russian- American relations. That is why his memoirs are of special interest for historians and general public as well. The most striking feature of his Russian experience is the fact that Francis was not a diplomat at all. Practically nothing in his previous life might help him in his ambassadorial work. David Rowland Francis was born in Richmond, Kentucky, in 1850, and removed to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1866 to enter Washington University. After graduation he became a clerk and soon afterwards partner in a commercial house, thus beginning his successful business career. Francis was also an ofcer or trustee in many banking and philanthropic institutions. At that same time he rose to prominence in politics, serving as mayor of St.
