In November 1865, a state wide election was held for members of Congress, a governor, legislators, etc. Jonathan Worth ran against Holden, and won, serving until 1868. Holden ran again in 1868, won, and shortly thereafter, became North Carolina’s only impeached governor. I don’t have Zuber’s book on Worth, but I’m going to look for it. <br />Thanks!Michael C.

Richard Zuber has one called, "JW: A Biography of a Southern Unionist."<br /><br />He was from the Piedmont, Quaker country, and as LT Gov (I believe) fought very hard to protect those who didn't want to fight, while still serving the state.<br /><br />btw, I enjoy your posts quite a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
