    Proslavery Missourians vote at Kickapoo, Kansas Territory, in 1855 in this image from Albert D. Richardson’s Beyond the Mississippi. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 35 (Autumn 2012): 146–63 146 Kansas History Samuel J. Kookogey in Bleeding Kansas: A “Fearless vindicator of the rights of the South” by Antonio Rafael de la Cova amuel J. Kookogey personified the generation of adventurous Southern bachelors who migrated west seeking land and wealth in the antebellum period. The Columbus, Georgia, native, raised on his family’s slave plantation, first sought acreage through the bounty promised in a filibuster expedition and afterward by settling in Kansas. When Kookogey was twenty-three years old, he was one of the leaders of the failed 1851 Cuba filibuster expedition mustered in Georgia under General Narciso López to invade the island and overthrow Spanish colonialism. SHe was enticed by Masonic ideology and the offer of a large plantation and cash for his services. That violation of the Neutrality Act prompted Kookogey’s arrest under a warrant authorized by President Millard Fillmore, which ended the young Georgian’s attempted paramilitary adventurism. Four years later, he joined thousands of migrants attracted to Kansas Territory by a desire for cheap and fertile land, lucrative government contracts and patronage, and the chance to help shape the destiny of slavery after the passage of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. Kookogey, a grandson of Quakers, was representative of a good number of proslavery settlers who did not partake in violence or lawlessness during the Bleeding Kansas sectional contest swirling around him.

  • 2 Kansas History “Over the Hill to the Poorhouse”: Kansas Poor Relief by Marilyn Irvin Holt
    Chase County Poor Farm, Elmdale, Kansas. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 39 (Spring 2016): 2-15 2 Kansas History “Over the Hill to the Poorhouse”: Kansas Poor Relief by Marilyn Irvin Holt eflecting upon her Kansas childhood, Lettie Little Pabst wrote that despite uncertain times and financial insecurities, she grew up believing her parents’ hard work would keep the family from going “over the hill to the poorhouse.”1 People might make offhand remarks about going to the poorhouse if someone overspent or seemed unable to keep ahead of debt, but the poorhouse, or poor farm, was not an imaginary place. It was a physical reality, and by the early twentieth century, most Kansas counties had one. This article explores the genesis Rof the poor farm as the centerpiece of local poor relief in Kansas, examines the working mechanics of these institutions, and finally considers factors that led to their demise. While the terms “poorhouse” and “poor farm” were used interchangeably, state and local governments in Kansas generally referred to the institution as a “poor farm.” The concept had its origins in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century legal and social traditions, including the English Poor Law of 1601 (which levied a public tax for the maintenance of the poor); the 1697 creation of workhouses for able-bodied poor; the 1788 English law that established almshouses for the aged, sick, and women and children unable to work; and the 1662 Settlement Act, which made residency in a town or parish a condition for receiving assistance. In America, state and territorial laws later followed the language and intent of English statutes as templates for enacting their own poor laws.

Kansas Avenue, we have benefited from an initial grant by the Kansas Legislature in 1998. The City of Topeka, the National Park Service, and private donors have contributed stabilization funds. To fulfill our responsibility as property stewards, we sought the professional services of a nationally known historian for an unbiased investigation that could authenticate the building, describe its present condition, relate its historical significance, and recommend its use. No one more completely fills that role as William Seale PhD, retained by the Kansas Legislature as architectural historian for the current restoration of the Kansas Statehouse.
