John Parker Hale: A Prominent American Statesman of the 19th Century (1806-1873) This image showcases John Parker Hale, an influential American statesman who graced the political landscape during the 19th century. Born on March 12, 1806, in Exeter, New Hampshire, Hale's legacy in American history is marked by his significant contributions to the political and social fabric of the United States. As a passionate advocate for education, Hale served as the President of Dartmouth College from 1836 to 1849. During his tenure, he oversaw the institution's transformation into a leading center of higher learning. Hale's commitment to education extended beyond Dartmouth, as he was also a founding member of the New Hampshire State Board of Education. In 1849, Hale was elected as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing New Hampshire's 2nd district. He served four terms in Congress, advocating for the rights of the common man and championing various causes, including the abolition of slavery. Following his tenure in Congress, Hale returned to New Hampshire and served as the state's governor from 1855 to 1857. During his governorship, he worked to improve the state's infrastructure and education system. This photograph, bearing the authentic autograph of John Parker Hale, is a testament to the remarkable life of an American statesman who dedicated his career to education and public service. The inscription on the image, 'John Parker Hale,' adds an intriguing personal touch, making it a valuable historical artifact that connects us to the rich history of the United States.
