George Chahoon : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Chahoon
George Chahoon (February 2, 1840 – July 29, 1934) was an American politician from Virginia and New York. He was Mayor of Richmond, Virginia, from 1868 to 1870, and a member of the New York State Senate from 1896 to 1900. ==Early life and political career== Chahoon was born in Sherburne, New York, but his family moved to Virginia not long after he was born. He grew up in Botetourt County and at the time the Civil War began was working in Washington, D.C., as a clerk in the Treasury Department. During Reconstruction, John M. Schofield, Virginia's military commander, appointed Chahoon mayor of Richmond. After he took office on 6 May 1868, Chahoon began purging city government of former Confederates. In another controversial move, he fired a number of white police officers and created a special black police force.
