Edward S. Salomon: Washington Territory's First Jewish Gover

Washington Territory and Washington State has seen many men—and two women—serve as governor. Only one so far has been Jewish. This was Edward S. Salomon, governor of Washington Territory from 1870 to 1872. His governorship was only a small part of an active life full of public service.
