George Radcliffe Colton

George Radcliffe Colton (1865 or 1866—1916) was the Governor of Puerto Rico from November 6, 1909 to November 5, 1913, a position to which he was appointed by President William Howard Taft. He was originally from Galesburg, Illinois. During the early part of the 1900s, he served in the United States Army and attained the rank of colonel by 1905. (However, this may not have been his final rank before retiring from the military.)
