and one of them was in ottawa, kansas. chautauquathe first assembly west of the mississippi river in bismarck grove. that was in 1878. surprisingly, a did not last for more than a few years. grove at its claim to was knowne reason it for being a gathering space was because of its infosys for prohibition or temperance. waswhat of the founders actually very much an avid prohibitionist. he was very much against alcohol. have the outdoor space that's known for its connection to temperance prohibition. she's really interesting that it did not last very long. some of the reasons wise that there was an indication that perhaps some of the people were not that supportive. he gave people a successful assembly. over inthere it bounced 1882, but it did not make it there for very long because in topeka, despite the fact that kansas, in 1881 passed an amendment to prohibit alcohol. --1882 to peak is still were still drinking alcohol. landed in ottawa for when you're in 1883. otherwere several assemblies in kansas, including hasincoln pa

what was happening in kansas. seven of his friends from county missouri, came up the missouri river when kansas was open for settlement, they come up the river and they came looking for an investment and they wanted to include david rice atchison in his investment, they had the side of what is now actress in kansas and it was beautiful open sites, he went out on a pretty level playing out to the curry, it was a great investment. they needed for david rice addison because they wanted the good things that would come with having his name associated with it. he would draw interest to it, because he was still influential at this time. it would be a few years before he started dragging his on name through the mud or the new york tribune drew his name through the mud. at this point, he came in and he was in the city of a in kansas, when they saw the first town lots and he actually was one of the first pot holders in atchison. he gave his interest away, he never kept any property, as far as i could tell, never continue to

of kansas was the fate of the union. in public, he spoke of allowing missourians and southerners to participate in the wealth of the west but privately he saw the way kansas went would tip the power in the union and even solidify the union or break it. he fought at all costs to protect the union and the way he saw was the only way to avoid civil war. by protecting southern interests. was atchison a savior or a demon to kansas? it depends on the view you take. but one thing is certain -- one thing is certain, he saw the future course of the nation before anyone else realized that we were already on the road to the civil war. david rice atchison had this two personality thing going, not because of anything he did, but because he was reported on by different sets of reporters with different agendas at the time. there was either border ruffian or peace broker david rice atchison. and the question was, did david rice atchison fire the first shot through the free state in lawrence or did he plead for calmer heads. i'm going to
