The article recalls a notable Tennessee figure who served as committeeman three times, Jonesboro postmaster, doorkeeper of the House in the Forty-seventh Congress, and fourteen years in Congress. He sat on the appropriations panel for a decade, chaired the National Soldiers Home board, and twice sought the U.S. Senate. A striking note: his district, once protected as a protectionist Republican, was represented from 1848 to 1853 by Andrew Johnson as a free trade Democrat.
