Arthur

military

Ohio

,
1736

Some
sources
list
his
birth
year
as
1734
or
1737
.
Little
is
known
of his
early
years
, and there
still
is
some
dispute
over
exactly
who
his
parents
were. He
probably
studied
briefly
at the
University
of
Edinburgh

left
school
to
study
anatomy

Hunter
. By
1757

During

, he
rose
to the
rank
of
major
general
in the
Continental
Army
but
lost

after
a
controversial
retreat
.
Under
the
Northwest
Ordinance
of
1787
,
which
created
the
Northwest
Territory
,
General
St
.
Clair
was
appointed
governor
of what
is
now
Ohio

Michigan
,
along
with
parts
of
Wisconsin
and
Minnesota
. He
named
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
,
after
the
Society
of the
Cincinnati
, and
it
was there that he
established
his
home
.
When
the
territory
was
divided
in
1800
, he
served
as
governor
of the
Ohio
Territory
.

Chief
Engraver
of the

States
Mint

held
from

until
his
death
in
1869
.

his
appointment
to that
post
,
Longacre
had
established
himself
as
one
of the
nation’s
finest
engravers
,
known
for his
elegant
engravings
based
on
portraits
by
other
artists
. He and
James
Herring
collaborated
on a
four-volume
work
entitled
“The
National
Portrait
Gallery
