- Biography/History:
- James Buchanan graduated from Dickinson College in 1809. He moved to Lancaster where he studied law and entered into practice in 1813. After the tragic death of his fiancee, Ann Coleman, in 1819, he left law and Lancaster for a political career in Washington, D.C.
- He was elected to five terms as congressman, 1821-1831, running first as a Federalist but switching to the Jacksonian party in 1824. Buchanan served as Minister to Russia, 1832-1833; U.S. Senator, 1834-1845; and Secretary of State for President Polk, 1845-1849 before retiring from politics in 1849.
- In 1853 he was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain. Upon his return from Great Britain, 1856, he was named Democratic nominee for President and in November was elected President of the United States. He retired to his estate, Wheatland, in 1861 and remained there until his death in 1868.
