22. Thomas E. Bramlette was born in Cumberland County, Ken- tucky, January 3, 1817, and died at Louisville, Kentucky, January 12, 1875. He was educated in the common schools of his county, after which he studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1837. In 1841 he was elected member of the Kentucky House of Representatives. In 1849 he was made attorney-general of Kentucky. This position he held for two years. In 1852 he removed to Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky. Here he was in the successful practice of his profession until 1856, when he was elected Judge of the Sixth Judicial District. When the Civil war came on he resigned his office as judge and raised the Third Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, and was made its colonel. In 1862 he was appointed United States District Attorney for Kentucky by President Lincoln to succeed James Harlan. It was under his administration as United States District Attorney, that Thomas C. Shacklett was tried and convicted of treason for aiding the rebels. Shacklett was a resident of Meade County. He was sentenced to imprisonment for ten years but was pardoned in 1864. Mr. Bramlette was commissioned a major general in 1863. It was while organizing his division that he was nominated as the Union candidate for governor of Kentucky. He was elected by a large majority and served his full term. It is the general verdict that he was a good governor, fair to all and never manifesting a partisan spirit. He dealt with the offender of one army in the same way as he did with those in the other. The delegation from Kentucky to the National Convention in 1864 was instructed to vote for Bramlette for Vice President, but he declined the nomination. At the expiration of his term as governor he resumed the practice of law in Louisville. He was a very able jurist. He was twice married ; in 1837 to Sallie Travis. After her death, and

24. Preston H. Leslie was born in Clinton County, Kentucky, March 8, 1819. He was educated in the common schools, which in his day were very inferior.

He secured a deputyship in the office of county clerk of Clin- ton County. He read law in the office of Senator Maxey and when admitted to the bar entered on the practice of his profession in Monroe County.

Between the years 1844 and 1871 he was frequently elected to the Kentucky Legislature and was chosen Speaker of the House in 1871, and at the same time was made ex officio lieutenant- governor. When John W. Stevenson was elected to United States Senate, Leslie became acting governor of the state. In 1871 he was made the democratic nominee for governor and was elected. He was appointed Territorial Governor of Montana in 1887 by President Cleveland. Gov- ernor Leslie was one of those faithful, diligent men who never shirked a duty.

He graduated from the medical department of the Transylvania Uni- versity at Lexington. And he began the practice of his profession at Lexington. He first came into prominence in 1835 when cholera raged in Versailles. Some of the physicians of the town died and others left. Doctor Blackburn alone fought the disease until the health of the com- munity was restored. For this service he made no charge. It brought him a large practice, however, when later he made the town his home. In 1843 he was elected to the Legislature from Woodford County. In 1846 he removed to Natchez, Mississippi, where he practiced his pro- fession. Yellow fever made its appearance at New Orleans in 1848. He established a quarantine at Natchez where he bought and equipped a hospital at his own expense. He prevailed upon Congress to establish a hospital at Natchez, of which he was placed in charge and where he served for several years. He prevented an outbreak of yellow fever at Natchez in 1854 by a rigid quarantine. Through his efforts a quaran- tine line was established below New Orleans. In 1856 Doctor Blackburn visited New York City. While there, yellow fever was introduced from an infected ship in the vicinity of Fort Washington on Long Island. Doctor Blackburn rendered great service in stamping out this menace, for which he refused compensation. In 1857 he visited the hospitals of England. Scotland, France and Germany, and when he returned he located at New Orleans and resumed the practice of medicine. In the Civil war he served on the staff of Gen. Sterling Price as surgeon. In 1867 he engaged in farming in Arkansas where his wife owned a planta- tion. While there. yellow fever appeared at Memphis, and Doctor Black-

In 1863 he returned to Lebanon, where he engaged in the practice of law. In his profession he was very successful. He was elected as a democrat to the Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Congresses. In 1883 he was nominated by the democratic party as its candidate for governor of Kentucky, to which position he was elected, serving one full term of four years. He was noted for his eloquence.

From this position he was released at his own request to enlist as a soldier in the War with Mexico. He served under Gen. Zachary Taylor and was in all the campaigns of that famous general. In 1847 he was attached to division of General Worth. Reaching Vera Cruz in Jan- uary, he took part in the siege of that city and in the battles of Cerro Gordo, San Antonio, Cherubusco and Molino del Rey about the City of Mexico. In all these battles he exhibited courage and ability as a soldier and was breveted first lieutenant and later captain for gallantry in these engagements. At the close of the war with Mexico he was made assist- ant instructor of infantry tactics at the United States Military Academy, which position he held from 1848 to 1855. He was in the regular army in the operations against the Indians from 1855 to 1860. In 1860-61 he held chief command of Kentucky State Guards with the rank of major general.

Johnston, 1862, and imprisoned at Indianapolis and at Fort Warren, near Boston, for five months, when he was exchanged and returned to Richmond.
