Admin/Biographical History: James Buchanan was born on April 23, 1791 to James Buchanan and Elizabeth Speer. He was the second child born out of ten children, and he would go on to outlive all but one of his siblings. Most popularly remembered as Pennsylvania's only President and as a lifelong bachelor, Buchanan committed a lifetime to politics. In 1821, he left his law practice and embarked on his political career after having been voted into the U.S. House of Representatives. He would remain in the House for five consecutive terms before serving as the U.S. Minister to Russia, a Senator in the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Secretary of State, the U.S. Minister to Great Britain, and finally, the 15th President of the United States. He died in his bedchamber at Wheatland at 8:30 AM on June 1, 1868. He was 77 years old. [https://www.lancasterhistory.org/about-wheatland, accessed 10/24/2019]

Notes: John Forney was printer for this poster. The best descriptons of John Forney are the 19th century praises penned by his colleagues.; "There were giants in his day, and he was one of them. None was more to be honored than the young Pennsylvanian who came from his Lancaster home to found and direct a policy which was to sway the nation..." (John Russell Young); "He wielded one of the most fertile pens in the whole country. ...He is a tower of strength in the editorial profession, and his rare mental vigor and complete mastery of the pen, justly entitle him to be regarded and styled the journalistic Achilles of the Western Continent." (Alexander Harris); "Col. Forney ...is one of the princes of American journalism. No editor in Pennsylvania has made a deeper impression on the public mind." (Philadelphia Record. ); "...he was the foremost editor of Pennsylvania." (Philadelphia Inquirer.); "He belonged to a class of men who build themselves into the civilization of their times..." (John Thomas Scharf.); "Personally, to me, he was always noble, gracious, conciliatory;" (Walt Whitman)
