-        <p>Willis Arnold Gorman was born in Kentucky on January 12, 1816. His early career was
-        as a lawyer and state legislator (Democrat) in Indiana. During the Mexican War he raised and
-        commanded an Indiana rifle battalion and an infantry regiment, and subsequently was elected
-        to two terms in the U.S. Congress. President Franklin Pierce appointed him Governor of
-        Minnesota in May 13, 1853, and he served in that office until 1857. He was subsequently a
-        delegate to the state constitutional convention (1857) and was elected to the first state
-        legislature (1858).</p>
-        <p>At the outset of the Civil War he commanded the First Minnesota Infantry Volunteers
-        (April-October, 1861) until his promotion to brigadier general. Following his discharge from
-        military service in 1864, he practiced law in St. Paul in partnership with Cushman K. Davis.
-        In 1869 he was appointed St. Paul city attorney, and held that office until his death on May
-        20, 1876.</p>

-        <head id="a3">SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE RECORDS</head>
-        <p>Subject files and correspondence of territorial governor Gorman. A large proportion
-        relate to territorial officers' appointments and commissions. Letters received and sent
-        address the following topics: concerns of federal civilian agencies, military and Indian
-        affairs in general, the 1855 treaty with the Winnebago Indians, land sales, the Minnesota
-        and Northwestern Railroad Company, and other territorial affairs. Also present are a
-        legislative diary (Jan. 27-March 6, 1857), pardon records, petitions regarding local
-        government organization, reports from territorial officers, and requests from other states
-        for return of fugitives.</p>
-        <p>Gorman's governorship spanned a period of both tangible and speculative growth in
-        the state's infrastructure and economy, with numerous railroads, educational institutions,
-        and corporations being chartered, new counties established, new towns incorporated, and
-        several Indian treaties ratified. The surviving records contain only sketchy information on
-        these developments, and do not appear to contain any significant documentation on an
-        abortive 1857 scheme to remove the state capital from St. Paul to St. Peter.</p>
