’54—On May 27 President McKinley

CoOL Gorden © tor a West Pome
graduate, and in that respect he is
unique among those appointed up to
the present time by the President to
positions of this class. Col. Gordon is
the third ex-confederate to receive such
an appointment. The Morning News
of Savannah thus sketches his life:
“Col. William Washington Gordon
was born in Savannah, and became a
cotton merchant here after his gradua-
tion from Yale College. He was in
active service in the Confederate army
from May 1, 1861, to April 26, 1865,
in the line as lieutenant in the Georgia
Hussars, Stuart’s cavalry, in Virginia;
on the staff as captain and inspector of
Mercer’s infantry brigade on the coast
of Georgia, and served from Dalton to
Lovejoy in the Atlanta campaign. He
was captain and adjutant of Anderson’s
brigade of Wheeler’s cavalry in the
campaign through the Carolinas.
October, 1865, he resumed business as
a cotton merchant in Savannah. Gen.
Gordon served three terms—from 1884
to 1890—in the Georgia Legislature.
He is senior officer of the organized
militia in Georgia, having served con-.
tinuously since the restoration of the
civil government in Georgia. He was
captain of the Georgia Hussars and
afterwards colonel of the First Georgia
Cavalry. He has been in command of
five state encampments. -As captain
and colonel he has been in command
of troops to suppress or prevent riots
twice on call of Mayors of Savannah,
twice on call of Governors of Georgia.
Gen. Gordon had yellow fever in Savan-
nah in November during the yellow
fever epidemic of 1876... He. is. an
immune.”
In naming Col. Gordon for a com-
mission, the President put aside the
recommendation of the Georgia dele-
gation in Congress and also declined to
consider the name of Governor Atkin-
son of Georgia, who sought the posi-
tion.
