I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. Judge John Trimble Although Judge Robert Trimble lined up with the Anti-Relief Party, a new Court of Appeals was created by the Relief Party, and the conflict continued under the names of the Old Court and New Court parties. The New Court included such well-known names as George M. Bibb, Wm. T. Barry, John Rowan, John Trimble and others. This Judge John Trimble was born in Kentucky, December, 1783. When a youth of nineteen he served at the pioneer town of Vincennes, Indiana, as secretary to the territorial Governor. Upon his return to Kentucky he also studied law like his gifted relation, Robert Trimble, under George Nicholas. He practiced in the courts of Paris, Kentucky and rose to the Circuit Bench. Judge John Trimble was appointed to New Court of Appeals by Governor Desha. It seems that the excitement and distress all around him became so discouraging that he resigned his position not very long after. The Legislature, who created the New Court of Appeals had been unable under the constitution to remove the judges of the Old Court, so a law was passed repealing the act by which the Old Court had been organized. This enactment was put through in perhaps the most exciting session of the Kentucky legislature ever known. The Old Court absolutely refused to be abolished; and the greater part of the legal profession and state judiciary stuck to the Old Court. The New Court, however, held its sessions and was recognized by a substantial part of the lawyers and judges over the state. Meanwhile the poor and distressed masses of the people through ballots had given such overwhelming majorities for the relief in the legislature, began to emigrate westward in such numbers that by the next election the Old Court party came to power again. Records of the time revealed how steady was the stream of people to other states and territories. In the year 1820, Thomas H. Benton, the United States Senator from Missouri appeared in public life with the profound sympathy for the struggling masses. Thousands of the Revolutionary veterans had drifted westward in utter destitution; for it is said that if all thosse who were burdened with debt in one single New England State had been imprisioned for it, two-thirds of the population, including the old soldiers would have been behind the bars. The famous Col. Barton who captured Colonel Prescot, languished in prison for a debt of the sort. And Senator Thomas H. Benton gives us in the opening of his great book, "Thirty Years in the U.S. Senate, " a graphic picture of conditions.

Unbound. Condition: Very Good. Handbill. Measuring 5" x 8". Small tape shadow, evidence of having been removed from a scrapbook or from another leaf, about very good. Inscribed by Train to J. F. Hart, Esq. of Elmira N.Y. "Nov. 09. Geo. Francis Train. Three cheers for the Elmira boys. Done in that vicinity three years since when surveying A. & G.W.R.R." Strongly supporting the Union cause, as displayed in this handbill, Train also gave influential speeches in England, where he had business interests, denouncing the Confederacy. He was a remarkable figure: a visionary, gold miner in Australia, journalist, and land speculator, who among other things was largely responsible for the extension of the Union Pacific Railroad into the West, making a fortune in the process. His frantic trip around the world in 80 days in 1870 was said to be the inspiration for Jules Verne's 1873 novel. In 1867 Susan B. Anthony enlisted Train to the cause of women, and the two of them traversed Kansas, while Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a former Kansas governor simultaneously did the same, all in support of amendments to the Kansas Constitution to remove the words "male" and "white," thus enfranchising both women and blacks. *OCLC* locates no copies of this handbill, but does locate a similar handbill at the AAS dated two weeks earlier by Guild announcing Train's ".first lecture since his return from Europe.".
