Summary "Address delivered at the quarter-centennial celebration of the admission of Kansas as a state" by Gov. John A. Martin is a historical address likely written in the late 19th century. The book commemorates the 25th anniversary of Kansas's entry into the United States and reflects on its development and contributions during that time. It discusses the progress and evolution of Kansas as a state, emphasizing its agricultural productivity and transformation from a frontier territory to a flourishing state. In his address, Martin outlines the significant phases of Kansas's growth, which he categorizes into three periods: the decades of War, Uncertainty, and Triumph. He highlights the fierce conflict over slavery that led to the state's admission, the struggles for survival and development during tough times, and ultimately, the successful establishment of Kansas as a vibrant agricultural hub. Martin provides compelling statistics about population growth, agricultural production, and educational advancements, underlining the resilience and determination of its citizens as they built a promising future for the state. He concludes with a confident outlook on Kansas’s continued growth and prosperity, invoking a vision of what lies ahead for the people and land. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
