George Graham (soldier)
Captain George Graham (1772 – August 9, 1830) served as acting U.S. Secretary of War under two U.S. Presidential administrations from 1816 to 1817. Outside of his Cabinet service, he is best known for a mission to Galveston Island, Texas to persuade the small Bonapartist colony of Champ d'Asile to accept American jurisdiction. There he met with privateer Jean Laffite. This voyage is considered the first Anglo-American account of a sea voyage to Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = The Handbook of Texas Online )〕 Graham fell ill with acute dysentery on his return trip from Champ d'Asile, but was healed by Atakapa natives. He was president of the Washington branch of the Bank of the United States, 1819–1823, and commissioner of the U.S. land office, 1823 - 1830.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = ArlingtonCemetery.net )〕
He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
