Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Character of Edward Oliver Wolcott, Late a Senator of the United States From the State of Colorado, Vol. 2 When at high noon on the 4th of March, 1889, Mr. Wolcott took the oath of office as a Senator of the United States from Colorado, the nation entered upon the 101st year of its legislative history. That was the date of the beginning of the Fifty-first Congress, and Mr. Wolcott was destined to serve until the close of the Fifty-sixth Congress, two Senatorial terms, or almost an eighth of the Second Congressional century. He was just past forty years of age, and the youngest Senator in the Chamber was his junior by only a month. He came from a State which had been a member of the Union for only a little more than twelve years. But, young as was the State and correspondingly young as was the State´s new Senatorial representative, neither was unknown to fame. In addition to its climatic and scenic attractions, the commonwealth already had taken front rank as a producer of the precious metals, and was making rapid strides in agriculture and stock-raising. Then, as since, the admirers of the State included all who had breathed its exhilarating air, bathed in its life-giving sunshine, looked upon its glorious mountains, or pocketed some of the proceeds from its rich mines or productive ranches. Not only the State, but the people of the State, had come to be the subject of much general admiration. They were known everywhere as intelligent, progressive, and enterprising. And it was everywhere recognized that they had found in the rising New Englander a representative in every way worthy of them.
