Henry W. Anderson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry W. Anderson
Henry Watkins Anderson (December 20, 1870 – January 7, 1954) was a United States attorney and leader of the Republican Party in Virginia. He commanded the American Red Cross Commission to Romania during World War I and was the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia in 1921. He is perhaps best known as one of the founders of the law firm Hunton Williams and as the fiancé of the writer Ellen Glasgow. ==Early life== Anderson was born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. He received an LL.B. in 1898 from Washington and Lee University and returned to Richmond. He was admitted to the bar and in 1899 formed a partnership with Beverley Bland Munford. Two years later Anderson persuaded Munford, Edmund Randolph Williams, and Eppa Hunton to form a new firm, which evolved into Hunton & Williams, one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the South.〔Thomas B. Gay, ''The Hunton Williams Firm and Its Predecessors, 1877–1954'' (1971), 36–46.〕 In 1916 Anderson met and fell in love with the novelist Ellen Glasgow. They began to write a political novel together, for which Anderson supplied copies of his speeches. The character David Blackburn in Glasgow's novel ''The Builders'' (1919) strongly resembles Anderson.〔John T. Kneebone et al., eds., ''Dictionary of Virginia Biography'' (1998- ), 1:136-137.〕
