Sara Tappan Doolittle Robinson
Sara Tappan Doolittle Robinson (née
Lawrence) (July 12, 1827 – November 15, 1912) was an American writer and historian. She served as the inaugural
First Lady of Kansas, 1861–1863, being the second wife of
Charles L. Robinson (1818–1894), the first
Governor of Kansas. Robinson is most notable for her book, ''Kansas : its interior and exterior life ; including a full view of its settlement, political history, social life, climate soil, productions, scenery, etc'' (1856), an antislavery account of the
Bleeding Kansas period in the mid-1850s. The book was considered "epoch making" for its time.
