Excerpt from The Louisiana Purchase: And Its First Explorer, Zebulon Montgomery Pike This spirit did not die. When, on January 15, 1811, the bill for the admission of Louisiana as a state was being considered, Josiah Quincy, who two years later left congress to become president of Har vard College, opposed the admission of the new state in these picturesque sentiments.

Alva Adams was born on May 14, 1850 in Iowa County, Wisconsin, United States. He was the son of John Adams of Kentucky and of Eliza (Blanchard) Adams of New York.
On account of the ill health of a brother of Alva the family drove across the plains to Colorado in 1871, settling first near Colorado Springs.
Adams received the limited education of a common district school in Iowa County, Wisconsin.
Adams obtained employment in Colorado Springs with a contractor engaged in hauling ties for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. Later he was employed as a clerk in a hardware store. He quickly showed his mettle by arranging to buy out the business with a partner. In 1872 he moved to Pueblo to open a branch of the business, separated from his partner, and continued by himself with success. When the city government of South Pueblo was organized in 1873 he was elected a member of the first city council.
He gave evidence of enterprise by establishing branch houses of his expanding business in Del Norte and Alamosa. The local prominence he had won brought about his election to the first legislature of the State in 1876.
His qualities of leadership next made him the nominee of the Democratic party for governor in 1884. Defeated in that campaign, he was renominated and elected in 1886. His administration was signalized by constructive measures in the development of the young State's institutions of learning and correction.
From 1889 to 1896 his attention was chiefly given to his business enterprises, during which time he became also a banker.
In 1896 the Democrats of Colorado joined with the Silver-Republicans in nominating Adams for governor against a fusion of the local Populists and the National Silverites. Adams was elected by a large plurality. He was instrumental in bringing about the settlement of a long and disastrous strike of miners in Leadville. His last message before retirement in January 1899 made an earnest plea for radical reformation of the system of assessment and taxation under control of a state equalization board with adequate powers. He advocated an inheritance tax, an income tax, and royalties on corporate and municipal privileges. A third time, in 1904, he was a successful candidate for governor, taking office on January 10, 1905. His rival, the retiring governor, Peabody, filed a contest, alleging gross frauds in city precincts. A partisan committee of the legislature, in a majority report, sustained Peabody. Enough Republicans dissented to block action until a "deal" was worked out to seat Peabody on his agreement to resign immediately and give place to the lieutenant-governor. Adams rejected the counsel of party friends who wished him forcibly to resist being supplanted.
The remainder of his life was spent as a business man, but one interested in public matters. He was a member of the Democratic National Committee in 1908, and was a commissioner of the United States in 1915 to procure the participation of Australia, Java, Siam, Cochin China, New Zealand, and China in the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Adams died in Battle Creek, Michigan at the age of 72.
Adams is notable for opening a franchise parallel to almost every extension of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. During his first term as governor, the Bureau of Labor Statistics was created; a law was passed ending public executions and corporal punishment at state prisons. Legislation was also enacted making it illegal for children under 14 to be used for labor. During his second administration, he mediated the negotiations in the extended and disastrous Leadville strike in 1896, and the State Board of Arbitration was established in 1897. When America went to war with Spain in 1998, Adams raised money to finance the troops, and he personally acquired each soldier's identification tags. Adams County, Colorado, is named for Alva Adams.
