George L. Clarke : ウィキペディア英語版 | George L. Clarke
George Leonard Clarke (August 10, 1813 – February 11, 1890) was an American politician who served as the 10th mayor of Providence, Rhode Island from June 1869 until June 1870. == Early life ==
George L. Clarke was born in Norton, Massachusetts. His parents were Reverend Pitt Clarke, a well-known pastor of the First Congregational Society in Newtown, and Maria (Simpson) Clarke. His schooling was a combination of home schooling from his parents; a few months spent at a public school in Norton; and "one or two quarters" in a private academy. Upon turning 16, he left school and went to work in a store in Providence. He supplemented his education by attending public lectures known as "Lyceum Lectures". Clarke was a staunch and outspoken abolitionist from an early age, and became well-known throughout the state for his anti-slavery views, even in a time when such views were not popular.〔
