Tennessee, 1866. $1000 I/C 6% Bond, Black text with black border and red underprint, Pair of portraits at top left and right. Fine condition with some toning, splitting, and tearing near imprinted seal. ABNC. Signed by William G. Brownlow as Tennessee Governor. William Gannaway "Parson" Brownlow (August 29, 1805 _ April 29, 1877) was an American newspaper publisher, Methodist minister, book author, prisoner of war, lecturer, and politician. He served as Governor of Tennessee from 1865 to 1869 and as a United States Senator from Tennessee from 1869 to 1875. Brownlow rose to prominence in the late 1830s and early 1840s as editor of the Whig, a polemical newspaper in East Tennessee that promoted Whig Party ideals and opposed secession in the years leading up to the American Civil War. Brownlow's uncompromising and radical viewpoints made him one of the most divisive figures in Tennessee political history and one of the most controversial Reconstruction Era politicians of the United States.
