Sketch of Doctor Levi Hull Life and Character
Philadelphia January 6 1885 sketches describe Doctor Levi Hull as a physician, husband, father, citizen and politician. He stood about five foot nine, weighed around 150 pounds, with a strong wiry frame and agile movements. A fluent, direct speaker, he could be dogmatic with inferiors yet respectful to equals, and showed great physical and moral courage. A Democrat at heart, he worked hard for the party though not an office seeker, and hoped for a Buchanan era appointment he did not receive. The piece notes upcoming continuations.
