Henry Hollis Horton
Henry Hollis Horton (February 17, 1866 – July 2, 1934) was an American attorney, farmer and politician who served as the 36th Governor of Tennessee from 1927 to 1933. He was elevated to the position when Governor Austin Peay died in office, and as Speaker of the Tennessee Senate, he was first in the line of succession. He was subsequently elected to two more two-year terms. Horton's tenure as governor was marred by a scandal after the Stock Market crash in 1929. The related collapse of the financial empires of his political allies, Luke Lea and Rogers Caldwell, cost the state more than $6 million in funds deposited in their banks by Horton's administration. The legislature voted to impeach the governor, but the measure did not carry and he served out his term.Jeanette Keith,Henry Horton" ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2009.

He also played football for Blackburn, Southampton, Bradford Park Avenue and Hereford. Football career A wing-half, Horton played for Blackburn among others. Cricket career Horton came late to full-time cricket, having spent most of his twenties concentrating on his football career. He joined Hampshire in 1953, but did not achieve a regular place in the side until 1955, the season when the West Indian Test batsman Roy Marshall qualified for the county.

Horton was essentially a defensiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
