Kansas Labor Day Tid-Bit

Posted in Kansas History
Kansas Labor Day Tid-Bit:


Lyman Underwood Humphrey - Governor of Kansas from 1889-1993, Humphreys is remembered for his enforcement of prohibition laws. Kansans can thank him for Labor Day, as he made Kansas the first state to make the first Monday in September an official holiday.

You can learn more about him here from the Kansas Historical Society. Much of the correspondence in this collection consists of letters written to his mother and brother relating his experiences while serving with the 76th Ohio Infantry during the Civil War.
