This chapter examines the new commander in the Illinois and Missouri territories—Brigadier General Benjamin Howard, a native Kentuckian. Although no professional soldier, in his youth Howard had fought Indians in his state's border warfare and he is said to have commanded volunteers attached to Anthony Wayne's army. After peace was restored, Howard entered a career in his native Lexington as a lawyer and, briefly, as a judge. In 1800 he was elected to the Kentucky legislature and in 1807 to the United States House of Representatives. Howard served in the Tenth and Eleventh Congresses, but in 1810 he resigned from Congress to accept appointment as governor of Louisiana (soon renamed Missouri) Territory, a post in which he succeeded the ill-fated Meriwether Lewis.
