Governor Sulzer Impeached
Governor Sulzer Impeached
On October 17, 1913, William Sulzer became the first (and so far the only) governor of New York to be impeached. This exhibit recognizes the one hundredth anniversary of Sulzer's impeachment by highlighting a few items from the New York State Library's special collections that are related to the event:
- a portrait of William Sulzer
- a letter Sulzer wrote to his friend, Judge Irving Vann, in August 1913
asking for Vann's help in preparing his defense - a 1914 newspaper article that noted Vann said he was not to be paid extra for the work he did because it was part of his job.
