James Mitchell Ashley
James Mitchell Ashley , an abolitionist and later Radical Republican, became a U.S. congressman from Ohio, and later territorial governor of Montana and president of a railroad linking Toledo, Ohio to northern Michigan.
Ashley was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, to John Ashley, a bookbinder and Campbellite preacher who evangelized in Kentucky and West Virginia, and his wife Mary A. Ashley of Kentucky. As a boy in the Ohio River valley, Ashley saw coffles of chained slaves being walked to the Deep South, boys his own age being sold, and even white men who refused to let their cattle drink from a stream in which his father had baptised slaves. He grew to hate the Peculiar Institution and the oligarchy that supported it.
