Louisiana, 1871. $1000 I/U 8% Coupon Bond, S/N 949, Black text with brown border, Pair of allegorical women at top left and right, Louisiana state seal at bottom center. Signed by Henry C. Warmoth as Governor of the State of Louisiana. Fine condition, NBN. Henry Clay Warmoth (May 9, 1842 – September 30, 1931) was an American attorney and veteran Civil War officer in the Union Army who was elected governor and state representative of Louisiana. A Republican, he was 26 years old when elected as 23rd Governor of Louisiana, one of the youngest governors elected in United States history. He served during the early Reconstruction Era, from 1868 to 1872. Facing strong criticism from some Republican leaders for weakening civil rights legislation and for endorsing a Democratic/Fusionist ticket in the 1872 election, Warmoth ended his term under state legislature's impeachment proceedings and was suspended from office.
