Colonel Dick Thompson: The Persistent Whig
""Colonel Dick Thompson: The Persistent Whig"" is a biography written by Charles Roll. The book tells the story of a man named Dick Thompson, who was a prominent figure in the Whig Party during the mid-19th century. Thompson was born in Kentucky and served in the Mexican-American War before becoming involved in politics. He was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1845 and later served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1849 to 1855. Throughout his political career, Thompson was a staunch supporter of the Whig Party and its policies, including opposition to slavery. He was known for his eloquent speeches and his ability to work across party lines to achieve his goals. However, Thompson's political career was cut short when he lost his bid for re-election in 1854. Despite this setback, Thompson remained active in politics and continued to advocate for the Whig Party until its demise in the 1850s. He later became involved in the Republican Party and supported Abraham Lincoln's bid for the presidency in 1860. ""Colonel Dick Thompson: The Persistent Whig"" provides readers with a detailed look at the life and career of a prominent political figure during a tumultuous time in American history. The book offers insights into Thompson's political beliefs, his relationship with other politicians, and his contributions to the Whig Party and the broader political landscape of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
