As usual, off on a journey involving all things history. This story was a bit more elusive, and I hope I can uncover more. I was down at the BCHS President’s shop, and one of the visitors (another history investigator), as many of us are! One historical journey to the next led us to a conversation about the origin of the name of a small town aptly Robinson, Kansas.

Now, first, a few kudos are in order. Many people in Brown County (and farther) are willing to help dig into my history mysteries, so my heartfelt thanks are offered! One person who takes many history journeys with me is Penny from the Genealogical Society, and I truly appreciate all her assistance when I am on a dig for information. In fact, thank you to everyone who explores history and take these journeys with me.
