He moved to Wheeling in spring 1856 to take a job at the  Daily Intelligencer . In the fall of 1856, he and John F. McDermot purchased the paper and Campbell became editor.","Campbell was a member of the fledgling Republican Party, and editorials in his paper favored Republican causes, especially the abolition of slavery and preservation of the Union. The  Intelligencer  was the only Republican daily paper in Virginia and the only paper in the state to endorse Abraham Lincoln for the presidency in 1860. Campbell strongly opposed Virginia's secession from the United States. He supported the creation of the Reorganized Government of Virginia, and he worked hard, through his editorials and behind the scenes, for the formation of the new state of West Virginia. President Lincoln appointed Campbell postmaster of the Wheeling Post Office in 1861. According to Campbell's daughter, Jessie Campbell Nave, it was he who wrote the text of the telegram (sent by Governor Pierpont) that reputedly convinced President Lincoln to sign the West Virginia statehood bill.","In Campbell's later years, he retired from the newspaper and traveled extensively.

He moved to Wheeling in spring 1856 to take a job at the  Daily Intelligencer . In the fall of 1856, he and John F. McDermot purchased the paper and Campbell became editor.","Campbell was a member of the fledgling Republican Party, and editorials in his paper favored Republican causes, especially the abolition of slavery and preservation of the Union. The  Intelligencer  was the only Republican daily paper in Virginia and the only paper in the state to endorse Abraham Lincoln for the presidency in 1860. Campbell strongly opposed Virginia's secession from the United States. He supported the creation of the Reorganized Government of Virginia, and he worked hard, through his editorials and behind the scenes, for the formation of the new state of West Virginia. President Lincoln appointed Campbell postmaster of the Wheeling Post Office in 1861. According to Campbell's daughter, Jessie Campbell Nave, it was he who wrote the text of the telegram (sent by Governor Pierpont) that reputedly convinced President Lincoln to sign the West Virginia statehood bill.","In Campbell's later years, he retired from the newspaper and traveled extensively.

Boreman. He was admitted to the Bar in 1843, and soon after located in Parkersburg, (West) Virginia, where he lived for the rest of his life. He was elected to the Virginia Legislature from Wood County in 1855 and served until 1861. Boreman began his political career as a member of the Whig Party, but he became a Republican when that party organized and remained a Republican until his death.","In 1861, after Virginia voted to secede from the Union, Boreman presided over the Wheeling Convention that organized the Restored Government of Virginia. In October of that year, he was elected Judge of the Parkersburg district Circuit Court and remained in that office until 1863, when he was elected Governor of the new State of West Virginia. He was reelected to that office twice, serving as Governor from 1863 to 1869. On November 30, 1864, he married Laurane Tanner Bullock (1830-1908).","In 1869, Boreman resigned his office as Governor to run for the U.S. Senate. He was elected and served for one term, till 1875. In 1875, he retired from government duties and reestablished a successful law practice in Parkersburg. Without his solicitation, however, he was once again elected Judge of the Parkersburg district he had served from 1861 to 1863, serving again from 1889-1896. He remained in that position until his death.","104, 639","Personal and business papers of lawyer, U.S. Senator, circuit court judge, and first Governor of West Virginia, Arthur I. Boreman.  Includes correspondence and legal and financial documents. Correspondence includes letters to and from Arthur's brother Jacob Boreman, as well as Francis H. Pierpont and George W. Summers. There are also letters and other documents relating to the taking and exchanging of hostages by the West Virginia government during the Civil War.","The correspondence series includes letters from Arthur Boreman to his brother Jacob in Kansas City, Missouri, which are generally personal but which also include numerous statements regarding political events in West Virginia; a letter from Boreman to George Summers, a prominent politician of western Virginia; and letters between Boreman and Francis H. Pierpont, governor of the Restored Government of Virginia during the Civil War. These letters are entirely political and discuss important events in West Virginia's history.","This series includes miscellaneous papers, financial and business papers, and Ku Klux Klan letter and clippings. The financial and business papers relate to Boreman's property and business in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and are of a routine nature. The KKK items include a photostat letter from the Nicholas County, West Virginia, KKK, threatening Governor Boreman (1868), and photostat clippings regarding KKK threats to other local public figures (1868).","This series includes documents and correspondence relating to the taking and exchanging of hostages by the West Virginia government during the Civil War. The hostages were taken in retaliation for captives taken by Confederate guerrillas during raids on Union-held territory in the state. These papers include testimony from private citizens regarding the Confederate sympathies of their neighbors; warrants for the arrest as hostages of citizens with Confederate sympathies; notes to be carried by hostages to Richmond, Virginia, requesting the release of Union captives; and letters from friends of hostages asking for their release. One of this last group is a letter to Boreman from David Hunter Strother.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.
