Mr. Shattuck removed to Colorado in 1870, with the "Union Colony," an organization which originated with N. C. Meeker, Agricult- ural Editor of the N.Y. "Tribune," and which founded the temperance town of Greeley.
This was the first attempt of Eastern people to settle on Western lands in a body, and has resulted in the most extensive and thoroughly organized system of farming by irrigation in this country. In 1874, Mr. Shattuck repre- sented his county in the Territorial Legislature. He was principal of the first graded school in Greeley, organizing and grading it, and was for several years vice-president and business mana- ger of the colony, resigning that position Nov., 1876, to enter upon the duties of Superintend- ent of Public Instruction of the "Centennial State," to which office he was elected at the first State election, held Oct. 3, 1876.
