John C. Spooner
| John Coit Spooner, Captain, 50th Wisconsin Infantry, as he looked about 1859-1860 when he was a student at the University of Wisconsin, first in the preparatory school and then as a regular student. He graduated in 1864. After serving in the Civil War, Spooner had a long political career, eventually rising to become a United States senator (1885-1891, 1897-1907). The Dictionary of Wisconsin Biography rates Spooner as one of the most powerful conservative politicians of his era. |
