A Life of Service: William Augustus Newell

December 23, 2021 By

$12.00

By Lloyd R. Applegate:  During his varied political career, William Augustus Newell served as governor of both New Jersey (1857-1860) and the Territory of Washington (1880-1884).  His interests and talents ranged from medicine and agriculture to several terms in Congress.  He was a friend of the Lincolns, and was appointed as an Indian inspector in the northwest.  Of greatest benefit to those of us along the Jersey coast was his persistence in bringing about legislation that established life-saving stations along our coast.
