Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Branch: 1782-1863, Governor of North Carolina, United States Senator, Secretary of the Navy, Member of Congress, Governor of Florida, Etc Before the office of Secretary of the Navy was created, the functions which were later performed by the occupant of that office devolved upon the Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs in the old Continental Congress, and Joseph Hewes, of North Carolina - a Revolutionary statesman, who made his name immortal by signing the Declaration of Independence - was the first person who held that post. Since the Revolution, five North Carolinians have, at different periods of our country´s history, entered the President´s official family in the capacity of Secretary of the Navy, viz.: John Branch, in the Cabinet of President Jackson; George Edmund Badger, in the Cabinet of the first President Harrison; William Alexander Graham, in the Cabinet of President Fillmore; James Cochran Dobbin, in the Cabinet of President Pierce; and Josephus Daniels (present incumbent), in the Cabinet of President Wilson. It is the purpose of the writer of this sketch to give an account of the distinguished services, both State and National, of the first of these five cabinet officials.
