Biographical History

In 1963, the Kansas legislature established the state's Civil War Centennial Commission. The governor appointed five members to draw up specific plans for observing the centennial and to co-operate with the national Civil War Centennial Commission and with local organizations. The Kansas commission consisted of Fred W. Brinkerhoff, Pittsburg, chairman; Alan W. Farley, Kansas City, vice-chairman; Mrs Frank Haucke, Council Grove, secretary; Robert E. Galvin, Fort Scott; and Charles C. Rankin, Lawrence. The Commission co-operated with Kansas communities to observe important Civil War battles fought in Kansas (e.g., Quantrill's August 1863 raid on Lawrence, the Baxter Springs massacre of October 1863, and the decisive October 1864 Battle of Mine Creek near Pleasanton).
