Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Corner in Celebrities In Picturesque Frankfort Kentucky there is a quaint corner of the town from which have probably sprung more distinguished men than from an like area in the United States. Covering about four acres, bounded by four streets bearing the historic names of Washington, Wilkinson, Montgomery and Wapping, is the central group of some noble old houses which sheltered sires and sons whose deeds brought fame and ever lasting glory to Kentucky. Here dwelt two Supreme Court Justices, two Cabinet officers, nine United States Senators, seven Governors, six Congressmen, seven foreign representatives, and it is here that three Admirals of the Navy first saw the light of day. Can any other town in so small a space, even in Puritan New England, Knickerbocker New York or the Cavalier South, boast so brilliant an array of Governors of the States and men of national and international importance? Within this small zone for at least one period of their lives, there lived the following brilliant galaxy: Supreme Court Justices Thomas Todd and John Marshall Harlan. Cabinet Officers George Mortier Bibb and John Jordan Crittenden. United States Senators John Brown, first United States Senator after Kentucky was admitted into the Union. He served three terms and was President protem 1803-04. James Brown, first United States Senator from Louisiana after it was admitted into the Union. By his hands the Monroe Doctrine was transmitted to France, in which country he remained as Minister for six years. George Mortier Bibb, twice United States Senator from Kentucky; appointed Secretary of the Treasury of the United States by President John Tyler.
