Excerpt from Fifty Years in Kansas: A Brief Sketch of the Life of George W. Martin, Secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society Fifty years is longer than the average of human life. No great proportion of the human race is so fortunate as to have so long a period of time for active labor. George W. Martin has been fifty years in Kansas. He was well grown, robust and strong when he came. He immediately applied himself steadily to useful labor, and if he has ever lost a day since I have not heard of it. He has spent a half-century here on the Great Plains in hard work. A review of his life is a history of the State. Few men were ever so active in public life, and Martin has left his impress on Kansas and her institutions. No State ever had a more loyal son or devoted citizen. George W. Martin caught the true inspiration of Kansas the day he entered her borders. It has been his guiding star. He helped make Kansas, and is proud of his part in the job. Few men ever had a wider acquaintance in the State, none ever had more friends. He has had enemies and still has them. He has made mistakes and may make others. But he is outspoken, rugged, square, honest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
