sire TO do
For the Spragues had now become. in the high
est sense, a political power The opening year OF
the War of the Rebellion found William Sprague
the Governor Of Rhode Island and as ''the famous
War Governor he IS known to-day With what
laudaton did the report go forth, when President
Lincoln called for volunteers suppress rebellion,
that the 1st Rhode Island Regiment and a battery

there was vacancy in one Of the Rhode Island
