Abstract:
On the September day of 1862 when Zebulon Vance first took the office of governor, North Carolinians would have been hard pressed to admit that they already had a governor. In fact, there were three governors that day, including Henry T. Clark who held the office until Vance took over. North Carolina's \"surplus\" governor, Edward Stanly, was appointed by President Lincoln to be military governor of that part of North Carolina in Federal control.
