Abstract:

Daniel Fowle was a lawyer, state legislator, judge, and Governor of North Carolina. He served during the Civil War and was captured on Roanoke Island. Although nothing spectacular happening during his administration, few Governors were held in higher esteem than he was. He was the first Governor to occupy the newly built Governor's mansion. Fowle died in office after serving just over half of his four-year term.
