Robert Dick Douglas

Robert Dick Douglas (1875-1960) was a North Carolina attorney who served as North Carolina Attorney General briefly in 1900-1901. A son of Robert M. Douglas and a grandson of Sen. Stephen A. Douglas and Robert P. Dick, Douglas was only 25 years old when Gov. Daniel L. Russell appointed him to serve out the remainder of Attorney General Zeb V. Walser's term. He was believed to be the youngest attorney general in the state's history.

Douglas was a graduate of Georgetown University and studied law under Robert P. Dick. He practiced law for many years in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he also served as postmaster.

In 1932, Douglas gave or sold Stephen A. Douglas's papers to the University of Chicago. [ [http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/spcl/excat/douglasint.html Stephen A. Douglas ] ]
