GEORGE M. ROBESON
The Secretary of the Navy and U.S. congressman signs this card dated 1884
Signature: "Geo. M. Robeson/1884 New Jersey" in black ink. 3¼x2¼. George M. Robeson
(1829-1897), a Union General during the American Civil War, served as Grant's Secretary
of the Navy from June 25, 1869 to March 3, 1877. Robeson was repeatedly accused of
corruption (bribery taking, and diversion of Navy funds for his private use), but was so adept
at covering his financial tracks that he earned the nickname "Cuttlefish." Twice an
unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senator from New Jersey (1876, 1880), he served as a U.S.
congressman for the state from 1879 to 1883. Toned. Corners rounded. Mounting residue
on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
