Sobre este artículo
Washington: McGill & Witherow. Very Good. 1864. First Edition. Removed Document. 55 pages; Removed document, clean, unmarked and complete. OCLC 1048301181 Francis Harrison Pierpont (1814 – 1899), called the "Father of West Virginia," was an American lawyer and politician who achieved prominence during the American Civil War. During the conflict's first two years, Pierpont served as Governor of the Restored Government of Virginia and administered the part of Virginia then under Unionist control prior to West Virginia's admission to the Union as a separate state. Pierpont was again elected governor for a four-year term on May 28, 1863. During this time, Pierpont clashed with General Benjamin F. Butler who was appointed to command the eastern military district of Virginia and North Carolina in Norfolk. Butler abused his military authority, according to Pierpont, by controlling the liquor traffic in Norfolk and through his disregard for the civil authority there. President Lincoln intervened in this controversy and Butler was removed of his command following a Congressional investigation. .
