AUGUSTUS S. MERRIMON
The North Carolina senator signs this card in black ink
Signature: “A.S. Merrimon/ of/ North Carolina”, in black ink, 3½x2. Augustus Summerfield Merrimon (1830-1892) was a U.S. senator from the state of North Carolina who served from 1873 to 1879. Merrimon served in the Confederate Army, but retired in order to become a prosecutor for North Carolina's eighth judicial district. Merrimon unsuccessfully ran for governor in 1872, but was elected to the U.S. Senate the same year. During his time in Congress, he butted heads with Zebulon B. Vance and created turmoil as a part of the South Carolina Committee, a congressional commission created to look into voter intimidation and fraud during the 1876 elections. Following an unsuccessful campaign for re-election, Merrimon served as Associate Justice from 1883 to 1889, and then as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1889 until his death in 1892. Toned, especially at edges. Remnants from a previous mounting on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
