Heartfelt History
As a young man John and his fellow “American Highlanders” from Western Pennsylvania quickly responded to the call for volunteers and enlisted to fight in the Mexican-American War.

After serving as the first Mayor of San Francisco in California and the third Territorial Governor of Kansas John fought in the American Civil War (wounded multiple times) at the Battles of Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and many others.

During the Battle of Wauhatchie (October 28th-29th, 1863) John experienced something that no parent should ever experience. John’s nineteen year old son, Edward died in his arms on the battlefield.

The following appeared in a biographical sketch describing the incident...
"As an artillerist he (John’s son Edward) had no superior in the army. It was his custom in battle to dismount and assist in working his guns. In this action, in the act of sighting his gun, his forehead pierced with a bullet, young Geary fell, and instantly expired. His father coming to the spot, clasped in an agonizing embrace the lifeless form of his boy, then mounting his horse, dashed wildly into the thickest ranks of the foe, and rode like an avenging spirit over that bloody field until the enemy were utterly routed and put to flight. This General Hooker pronounced the most gallant and successful charge that has come to his knowledge during the war. Generals Grant, Thomas and Hooker rode upon the field the next morning, complimenting in strong terms General Geary for his stubborn resistance to an immensely superior force. The supplies to the army at Chattanooga are saved; alas, with what a sacrifice! The eye of the General is moistened with tears. His first-born has fallen a sacrifice, and many a gallant spirit who had followed him through many a bloody fight has bit the dust. Thus fell a noble son of a noble sire; another victim to this accursed rebellion; another pledge given by our country in the blood of her noblest sons, that the freedom bequeathed to us by patriot ancestors shall be by us transmitted, unimpaired, redeemed and purified, to our posterity."

After the Civil War, John W. Geary became the 16th Governor of The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where he served for two terms.

From A Sketch of the early life and of the civil and military services of Maj. Gen. John W. Geary, candidate of the National Union Party for Governor of Pennsylvania.

"In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them every thing. He that gets all he can honestly, and saves all he gets (necessary expenses excepted), will certainly become rich—if that Being who governs the world, to whom all should look for a blessing on their honest endeavours, doth not, in his wise providence, otherwise determine”

Quote of the Day
If a governor comes out of his government rich, they say he has been a thief; and if he comes out poor, that he has been a noodle and a blockhead.
