Excerpt: ...for the Indians he sent the gold with which he was to pay the traders due from the Indians, to New York, and received in lieu thereof bills on the Bank of North America, and with these he paid the traders, not the Indians, when he should have paid in gold. These charges were referred to Gov. Gorman to take testimony, and I shall never forget my first impression of the man, as I saw him " clothed with a little brief authority," and strutting the stage like a monarch of all he surveyed. A tall, large-boned young man, named Dow, was secretary of the investigating committee, and from day to day the testimony was received until at last it was all in, and then Gorman went off into one of those peculiar Democratic tirades for which he was so noted, and in which he prophesied that Ramsey would be totally annihilated, politically and otherwise, but the quiet, wily, discreet Governor slipped off to Washington slyly and when the testimony was received he was there to refute it, and the result was Congress exonerated him entirely from all blame. Gorman was shocked; Ramsey was pleased. Gorman raved; Ramsey smiled. The bucking propensities of the Irish-American Governor were met by the bucking propensities of the Scotch-German Ex-Governor, and a half was called, and by a sort of mutual consent the matter was finally dropped and new political issues arose to call into action strong and vigorous opposition on the part of these two prominent men. RICE VS. GORMAN. Gov. Gorman was a man of strong positiveness of character and a Democrat in every sense of the word, completely and thoroughly saturated with the Democratic juice. Of southern birth he hated any one who sought to interfere with slavery or curtail in any degree its power, and hence his early...

Download or read book St Paul Murder Mayhem written by Ron de Beaulieu and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fledgling community in the midst of stunning natural scenes, the St. Paul of yesteryear had a well-earned reputation for beauty and danger. Whiskey made the river city a byword for peril. Men brawled over small offenses and killed one another with near impunity. As crime flourished beyond the power of police control, vigilantes patrolled the streets. Irresponsible speculation and white-collar crime wrecked the local economy, devastating families and driving thousands out of town. The remaining St. Paulites rebuilt their community and economy, stimulating immigration, but more people meant more crime. In the 1870s, vice and violence spiraled into the Bloody Fall of '74, and St. Paul regained its reputation as a "dead tough" town. Historian Ron de Beaulieu reveals the past travails of life in this turbulent city.

Download or read book Civil War Biographies from the Western Waters written by Myron J. Smith, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1861 to 1865, the Civil War raged along the great rivers of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. While various Civil War biographies exist, none have been devoted exclusively to participants in the Western river war as waged down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red River, and up the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cumberland. Based on the Official Records, county histories, newspapers and internet sources, this is the first work to profile personnel involved in the fighting on these great streams. Included in this biographical encyclopedia are Union and Confederate naval officers down to the rank of mate; enlisted sailors who won the Medal of Honor, or otherwise distinguished themselves or who wrote accounts of life on the gunboats; army officers and leaders who played a direct role in combat along Western waters; political officials who influenced river operations; civilian steamboat captains and pilots who participated in wartime logistics; and civilian contractors directly involved, including shipbuilders, dam builders, naval constructors and munitions experts. Each of the biographies includes (where known) birth, death and residence data; unit organization or ship; involvement in the river war; pre- and post-war careers; and source documentation. Hundreds of individuals are given their first historic recognition.
