Description: Biography of Henry Smith Lane (1811-1881), early Republican, and commander of the 1st Regiment Indiana Volunteers during the Mexican War. Covers their experience in some detail.
On the morning of June 17, 1856, the first Republican national convention opened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By 11:15 the galleries of the Musical Fund Hall had filled with two thousand energetic participants. By 4:30, with the hall temperature exceeding one hundred degrees, attendance swelled further. At that hour a tall slim man in a blue jeans swallow tail suit ascended the speaker 's platform with a shaky limp. Immediately the audience noted his pale complexion peering through a graying beard. With a complete absence of front teeth and a cheek filled with chewing tobacco, several observers thought the man unfit to speak.
