Jacob Downing
Jacob Downing (April 1830 – 1907) was a major in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was present at the infamous Sand Creek Massacre as a subordinate of Colonel John Chivington. After the war ended, he played a part in the development of Colorado and in particular the city of Denver.
==Early life==
Jacob Downing was born in Albany, New York in April 1830, the youngest of 11 children of Jacob Downing, Sr. (1785-1858) and Jane (née Winne) Downing. Downing, Sr. was, according to one source the owner of several farms and a successful entrepreneur.〔 The family were Hicksite Quakers, Downing, Sr. being a cousin of Elias Hicks.〔 The younger Downing was schooled at the Albany Academy.
At 14, he went to work as a clerk at the Albany City Bank. In 1850, he was badly injured aboard the steamer ''Alabama'' when the boiler burst.〔 He studied law in Chicago and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1858.〔
Sources disagree as to the reason, but Downing moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1859,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sand Creek Massacre: The Coloradoan )〕 during the Colorado Gold Rush, or in 1860. In 1860, he was elected a judge of the municipal court.〔〔
