Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Life and Public Services of Hon. W. W. Crapo: With Press Comments In presenting to the Republican voters of Massachusetts the name of William W. Crapo as a candidate for Governor, his friends do so with just pride in his unquestioned ability and his conspicuous record of public service. A careful perusal of the following brief sketch of his career is commended to every citizen interested in the public welfare, and anxious to secure the best men obtainable for the public service. William Wallace Crapo was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, May 16, 1830, and was the only son in a family of ten children. His father was Hon. Henry Howland Crapo, a self-educated man, who, beginning life in humble circumstances, ended his career as Governor of the State of Michigan. The son inherited his fathers passion for learning and knowledge and, although his father´s means were limited, he was given all possible opportunity for study. He was first in the New Bedford public schools, then at Phillips Academy in Andover, where he prepared for college. He graduated at Yale - which has since conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, - in the class of 1852. Deciding on the study of law, he attended the Dane Law School at Cambridge, and subsequently entered the office of Governor Clifford in New Bedford. In February, 1855, he was admitted to the Bristol bar, and the following April was elected City Solicitor, an office which he continued to hold for twelve consecutive years. In 1856 Mr. Crapo was chosen to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and the following year, when only twenty-seven years of age, was tendered a seat in the Massachusetts Senate, but declined the honor.
