Call on the reverse, VF-XF condition. James Van Norden. Richard Keith Call (October 24, 1792 – September 14, 1862) was an American attorney and politician, the 3rd and 5th territorial governor of Florida. Before that, he was elected to the Florida Territorial Council and as a delegate to the U.S. Congress from Florida. In the mid-1830s, he developed two plantations in Leon County, Florida, one of several thousand acres. In 1860 he held more than 120 slaves and was the third-largest slaveholder in the county. Richard Call came favorably to the attention of General Andrew Jackson, a leader during the war. In 1814, Call was commissioned as a first lieutenant and went to Florida to serve as Jackson’s personal aide. He returned with General Jackson in 1821 to establish the territorial government after the United States acquired Florida from Spain by the Adams-Onís Treaty. After resigning from the Army in 1822, Call decided to make Florida his home and opened a legal practice. On March 16, 1836, he was appointed by President Andrew Jackson as the governor of the territory. During his first term, as brigadier general of the territorial militia, he led forces in fighting the Seminole Indians, winning victories at the second and third Battles of Wahoo Swamp in the Seminole War. President Martin Van Buren replaced him as governor with Robert R. Reid on December 2, 1839 following a dispute with Federal authorities over their assistance during the war. In the 1840 presidential campaign, Call crossed party lines to assist Whig William Henry Harrison, who won and appointed him again as governor of Florida. During this second term, which began on March 19, 1841, Call moved the territory closer to statehood. He worked to minimize the financial problems that Florida suffered due to bank failures and a national business depression. He left office on August 11, 1844. In 1845, Florida became a state and Call sought election as governor. His role in supporting the election of President Harrison caused him to lose.�� Est. $200-400 Japan 664 664 Asian Development Bank, 1981 Specimen Bond Japan. 10,000,000 Yen Specimen 8.3% Coupon Bond, Black print on thick paper with m/c underprint, Printed in Japanese with some English, VF-XF condition.�� Est. $90-180 Kentucky 665 665 Bank of Louisville 1830-40s Proof Stock Certificate Kentucky, ND (1830-1840s).
