Fine condition. Printed by Press of Case, Tiffany and Co., Hartford. Joseph Trumbull (December 7, 1782 - August 4, 1861) was a U.S. lawyer, banker, and politician from Connecticut. He represented Connecticut in the U.S. Congress and served as the 35th Governor of Connecticut from 1849 to 1850. In addition to a successful law practice, Trumbull was active in several businesses. From 1828 to 1839 he was president of the Hartford Bank, and he served as president of the Providence, Hartford & Fishkill Railroad. Originally a national Republican, and later a Whig, Trumbull began his political career with election to the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1832. He was sent to the U.S. Congress in December 1834 to complete the term of William W. Ellsworth who had resigned, and was elected as a Whig to the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh Congresses (March 4, 1839 – March 3, 1843). Trumbull served as Governor of Connecticut in 1849 and 1850.
