nickname, "the Natick Cobbler" - and an anti-slavery activist who entered the
US Senate in 1855 with the Free Soil Party. In 1859 he was re-elected as a
Republican, serving in the Senate until 1873, when he began his tenure as
Vice President during Grant's second term. During the Civil War, Wilson
raised and led a regiment of volunteers. Wilson died in office, in the Capitol
building. Typed caption at lower margin. Irregular left edge. Otherwise, fine
