1. Constitution Hall State Historic Site Lecompton
The Lecompton Constitution was the second of four proposed constitutions for the state of Kansas . The document was written in response to the anti-slavery position of the 1855 Topeka Constitution of James H. Lane and other free-state advocates. The territorial legislature, consisting mostly of slave owners, met at the designated capital of Lecompton in September 1857 to produce a rival document. Free-state supporters, who comprised a large majority of actual settlers, boycotted the vote. President James Buchanan's appointee as territorial governor of Kansas, Robert J.

Washington, D.C. has been the federal capital city of the United States since 1790. Each U.S. state has its own capital city, as do many of its insular areas. Historically, most states have not changed their capital city since becoming a state, but the capital cities of their respective preceding colonies, territories, kingdoms, and republics typically changed multiple times. There have also been other governments within the current borders of the United States with their own capitals, such as the Republic of Texas, Native American nations, and other unrecognized governments.

VID07162011.AVI Eastbound Southwest Chief Train #4 At Wakarusa, Kansas

Train #4 Was around 4 hours late this morning, so I went South of Topeka to look for an interesting spot to videotape it, that I hadn't visited before. I found Wakarusa, a tiny hamlet South of Topeka about 10 miles. There still is an operating US Post Office here, and a great place to watch a great train! Train #4 was led by locomotive #171 this morning, with road # 51 trailing. Nice looking train, and some nice horn music in a beautiful spot!....THANKS FOR WATCHING....Doc
