Autobiography of John Chambers (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Autobiography of John Chambers During the last year of his eventful life John Chambers, second Governor of the Territory of Iowa Wrote out in response to the request of his youngest son, Henry Chambers, an autobiographical sketch. For over half a century this important manuscript has remained in the possession of the family of Henry Chambers of Louisville, Kentucky, carefully preserved but never published. As a result of correspondence with Mr. John Chambers and a visit to Louisville, Kentucky, where he was entertained at the home of Mrs. Henry Chambers, Professor Benjamin F. Shambaugh, Superintendent of The State Historical Society of Iowa, secured the manuscript for publication by the Society. Acknowledgments are due, therefore, not only to Mrs. Henry Chambers and her family but also to Professor Shambaugh both for the discovery of the manuscript and for valuable advice and assistance in preparing its pages for the press.
