Edward Salomon

Edward Salomon

Edward Salomon (August 11, 1827ndash April 20, 1909) was Governor of Wisconsin during the Civil War after the accidental drowning of his predecessor, Louis P. Harvey.

Salomon was born in Ströbeck, Prussian Saxony. He was lieutenant governor of Wisconsin from 1860 to 1862 before becoming governor after Harvey drowned in the Tennessee River while visiting Wisconsin troops after the Battle of Shiloh. He moved to New York City in 1869 and in 1894 moved back to Prussia where he died and was buried.

In 1862 Governor Salomon responded to a request from the War Department for more troops by asking for volunteers and setting up a draft. He was able to raise 14 regiments. Salomon had to call up federal troops to quell the Port Washington Draft Riot. Suppression of the rioters with use of federal troops cost him the 1864 Republican nomination.
