Seon With his army Charles destroyed an English division sent against him at Prestonpans. This victory gave him such a repu- tation that he marched through Eng- land to within 100 miles of London which he could have captured, but the Highlanders, becoming alarmed, forced him to retreat. After winning the bat- tle of Falkrik, January 17, 1746, his Scottish chiefs forced him again to re- treat to the Highlands where the dis- astrous defeat of Culloden ruined his cause. He might have won this battle, too, though his army was smaller than that of the English, had not the McDonald clan on the left wing refused to charge, sulking because they had always had the honor of hoiling the right since the battle of Bannockburn. After months of wandering and ad- venture, Charles escaped from the country. He never took the title of Europe as the Count of Albany, until his death at Rome, in 1788. Thus the Cameron's star of hope sank on the battle field of Culloden. Donald Cameron, Simon Cameron's great grandfather, was a participant in that memorable battle and, having es- caped the carnage, made his way to America in 1745. On his maternal side, Cameron was descended from Conrad Pfoutz, one of those sturdy German Protestants, whose faith no terrors could conquer. An exile from his native land for con- science sake, he sought the western wilds and was, for a time, the com- panion of that famous Indian fighter, Captain Samuel Brady, the history of whose life is more captivating than romance. When Simon Cameron was about nine years old his parents moved from Lancaster county to Northumberland county and his father dying soon af- ter, he was early thrown on his own resources. Young Cameron liked books and his fondness for reading was un- quenchable. The little printing shop in Sunbury soon became a mecca for him and in 1815 he became an appren- tice to the printing trade. His employer, however, suffered re- verses and his office was closed. This threw Cameron out of work and he was forced to look for another job. Soon afterward he went to Harrisburg where after considerable disappoint- ment, he secured a job as apprentice in the office of James Peacock.

In recognition of his efficiency as a builder, he was chosen president of the raod. The Lebanon Valley rail- road, was another movement to his sagacity and foresight. Not content with these successes, he developed the Northern Central railroad, from Har- risburg to Sunbury. When only 27 years of age he had a contract to construct the canal from Harrisburg to Sunbury, a distance of about 60 miles. This and other im- provements were sufficient to give him front rank among the useful and en- terprising citizens of the common- wealth. In 1831, Louisiana sent for him to build the pioneer canal from Lake Putchartrain to New Orleans. The thrifty Pennsylvania Scotchman took an army of 1200 workmen from Phila- delphia to help do the work. This achievement, which was culminated successfully, brought him added rec- ognition as a builder. In 1845, after the inauguration of Jam Polk, the position of Sec- State was tendered to an- r famous Lancasterian, James Bu- chanan, then one of the United States senators from Pennsylvania in Con- gress. A successor was to be chosen to fill Buchanan's place in the Senate. Simon Cameron was the man who, at this time, in recognized sympathy with the Democratic party, was selected for the wing of the party which favored the policy of a protective tariff. Geo- rge W. Woodward was, however, the caucus nominee of the Damocrats; this party being at the time strongly in the majority. The Whigs consented to unite their strength upon Cameron because of his therefore, of the Whigs and a part of known tariff sympathidg. By the union, the Democrats, he was ‘elected to the United States Senate. In 1857 he again was a candidate for the Senate and succeeded in being elected over John W. Forney, then universally conceded as one of the shrewdest Democratic politicians in the state. Upon the election of Lincoln, in 1860, the distant sound of the approaching Civil War became instantly audible on the southern horizon.

T. Rogers. More determined than ever, Camer- on again took up the trail, finally re- turning to Harrisburg, where he ob- tained a position as journeyman print- er. Not long after this he became an employe of the firm of Gales and Sea- ton, in Washington, D. C., publishers of the “National Intelligencer.” In 1823, Cameron returned to his na- tive state and was married to a Miss Brua, of Harrisburg. In the same year he became one of the publishers of the “Report” a Democratic paper printed in Harrisburg. He also was elected State printer and received from Gov- ernor Andrew Shulze, another native Lancasterian, the appointment of Ad- judant General of Pennsylvania. The poor printer was now become a man of mark, His official and busi- ness connections introduced him to the leading men of the state and he soon came to be recognized as one of the shrewdest business men of the whole country. Cameron early became conspicuous in the public improvement enterprises of the state and the projection of the Harrisburg, Mount Joy and Lancaster railroad. It was at this time that his Inherent fighting qualities came to the ore. Railroads in the early stages of de- velopment were looked upon with dis- favor and the support of which, in any marked degree was a waste of time and money. But to Cameron, railroads meant prosperity and individual gain. In fact, his vision was far in advance of his associates. His energy and troubled state of the nation the name of Simon Cameron stood out in bold relief. He was chosen as Secretary of War by Lincoln at a time when the destiny of the nation was in great jeopardy—a fitting tribute to his integrity and abil ity. Thus, seventy years ago, a Lan- caster countian assumed the herculean task of organizing plans for the mobi- lization of the United States army, at a period when all signs indicated an unprecedented hurricane upon the American continent. It came with the bombardment of Fort Sumter, on the morning of April 12, 1861. Immediately the bugle blasts of war arose and the period which fol- lowed required of Cameron a coolness, sagacity and vigor of will that the ex- igencies of the nation had never before demanded. General Cameron at once evinced his appreciation of the magnitude of the difficulties to be encountered and a charactistic determination of resistance that the crisis required. In accordance with his plans an army was soon or- ganized and the northern states were placed upon a military footing that amply shielded and assured the per- petuity of the Federal Union. The position was, however, a per- plexing one for even the steadiest of nerves. In 1862, therefore, Cameron was forced to retire from the post and was appointed Minister to Russia. In 1867 he was elected for the third time to the United States Senate. His early exploitations in finance, engin- eering were achievements which rank high in the history of the country. They were the means of developing one of the richest sections of the United States. For sixty years Cameron was a forceful figure. Perhaps he needs ne other monument than the Northern Central railroad, of which he was the builder and of which his son was long president. 200% > 0, * oe 9 1 %% 7 Mount Joy, Pa.
