Henry Cruger



Some people have busy lives. Me, I've been in this house for twenty-five plus years, and have stayed staid and happy as a salesman. But Cruger did pretty well for himself. He married a slave-owner's daughter, and for a New Yorker moved around the world.

But how could any one person manage to be all of the above?
The Mayor of Bristol, yes. In those days it wa England's second city.
The promotion or move to become MP, I can understand.

But to have been a US Senator as well is beyond belief.
