Alfred T. Goshorn : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alfred T. Goshorn
Alfred Traber Goshorn (July 15, 1833 – 1902) was a Cincinnati, Ohio businessman and booster who served as Director-General of the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. That was the first world's fair in the United States and so resounding a success that Queen Victoria knighted Goshorn and the leaders of Europe presented him with numerous accolades. ==Biography== Goshorn was born circa 1833 on the family homestead in Cincinnati. He graduated from Marietta College in 1854 and earned a law degree three years later. During the Civil War he enlisted in Company F, 137th Ohio Infantry, a 100 days service regiment, serving as captain. He never saw combat, having served as an officer at a Union prisoner of war camp, near Baltimore, Maryland. After the Civil War, he owned a paint company and led the Cincinnati City Council for two years.
