Biographical History
Kansas pioneer and author of Went to Kansas (1862).
Born in 1817 near Troy, N.Y., and educated at a St. Lawrenceville County academy, Miriam Davis married a fellow-teacher, William H. Colt, in 1845 and they had two children, Miriam (b. 1847) and William (b. 1853). In 1856 the family emigrated to Kansas as members of the Vegetarian Settlement Company, which planned a colony near Fort Scott on the Neosho River. Defrauded of their investment and plagued by illness, the Colts left Kansas in the fall of 1856. Mrs. Colt's husband and son died en route, leaving only mother and daughter to return to New York, where Mrs. Colt wrote a book about her family's ordeal.
