• James Whitcomb Governor of
  James Whitcomb Governor of Indiana Sixth Plate Daguerreotype Sixth plate housed in a full case with inked note pasted to the pad reading: Hon. James Whitcomb - Ex-Governor of Indiana.? Presented to A.L. Ruter Defour by himself - May 1851.? This daguerreotype is the only known original photograph of the governor still in existence.James Whitcomb (1795 -1852) served as the 8th Governor of Indiana from 1843 to 1848 and as a U.S. Senator from 1849 until his death.? Born in Vermont he was raised in a farming family that moved west to Cincinnati when he was a boy.? Against the wishes of his father who viewed manual labor as the only noble occupation James left the farm to attend Transylvania University in Kentucky and was admitted to the bar in that state in 1822.? He moved to Bloomington Indiana two years later and quickly made a name for himself as an effective and charismatic lawyer with the practical sensibilities of a Northerner and the style and elegance of a Southern gentleman.? After successfully prosecuting a string of high-profile cases as Monroe County D.A. Whitcomb was elected to the Indiana Senate and subsequently appointed Commissioner of the General Land Office by President Andrew Jackson in 1841.James Whitcomb was elected the 8th Governor of Indiana in 1843 as a Democrat.? In his first term he was forced to deal with the state's crippling debt problem but still managed to oversee the establishment of Indiana's first public institutions for the deaf blind and insane.? He was reelected in order to continue his debt reduction plan but the United States' entry into the Mexican-American War became the central focus of his second term.? With the state coffers empty but Indiana needing to supply five regiments as requested by the federal government Governor Whitcomb drew personal loans to supply the soldiers with arms.? The units were deployed successfully and as a result of his wartime leadership Whitcomb is honored with a prominent statue at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in central Indianapolis.? He was elected U.S. Senator before his second gubernatorial term expired and became the Senate's most outspoken opponent of tariffs but died of kidney disease in 1852 after only three-and-a-half years of service.This lot plus lots 103 and 105 were part of a larger grouping related to Amanda Ruter Dufour which surfaced in the inventory of an antiques business that closed in the northern neck of Virginia in the 1970s. Amanda Dufour (nee Ruter) was a native of Indiana and at the time these photographs were taken was the wife of a prosperous New Albany merchant. New Albany is immediately across the river from Louisville thus explaining the presence of the Prentice daguerreotype. Her connections also explain the Whitcomb daguerreotype. Dufour like Bolton was noted as a poet and lyricist and as an Indiana native would have no doubt known Bolton quite well. A picker turned up the grouping which included these three cased images plus diaries numerous books with Dufour's maiden name inside and various unidentified daguerreotypes and ambrotypes. Condition: Solarization at mat edges.

• Silhouette of Kentucky First Lady
  Silhouette of Kentucky First Lady Mrs. Issac Shelby Lexington KY Watercolor on paper titled Mrs. Isaac Shelby / Lexington KY l.r. signed and dated J.W. Dodge 1802 l.l.; 7.75 x 5.5 in. The silhouette is executed on a heavier stock paper not typical of the first quarter 19th century. It is possible that the piece is executed later than 1802.Suzanna Hart Shelby daughter of of Capt. Nathaniel Hart one of the first settlers in Kentucky was married to Isaac Shelby. A soldier fighting in the American Revolutionary War and a statesman serving as Kentucky's first govenor Shelby first came to Kentucky in 1774 and became a prominent member of early Kentucky society. He was a memeber of the constitutional conventions which led to Kentucky's statehood and was a trustee of Transylvania Seminary Kentucky's first college. Shelby's military record was well known. He fought in the Revolutionary War at the famous Battle of King's Mountain an expedition over the Appalachian Mountains against the British forces in North Carolina. Shelby was called to service again for the War of 1812 where he led a regiment to the rescue of Kentucky troops during the Battle of the Thames near Detroit. The battle became so famous for Shelby that people from Michigan Ohio and Kentucky stood roadside to catch sight of the hero upon his return to Kentucky. Following the Revolutionary war Shelby relocated to Kentucky on lands given to him for his military service and became involved in Kentucky's transition from a county of Virginia to an independent state. As a war hero he was popular with the citizens; the state electoral college unanimously elected him governor in 1792. He secured the state from Indian attacks and organized Kentucky's first government. After his offical retirement from politics in 1816 Shelby was asked to serve as Secretary of War by President Monroe but he declined. In 1817 he was commissioned by Andrew Jackson to negotiate with the Chickasaw Indians for purchase of lands west of the Tennessee River. Shelby remained active in political affairs until his death at his home Traveller's Rest Lincoln County in 1826.
