Abstract:

Pritchard was born in Tennessee in 1857. He later settled in strongly Republican Madison County and began his political career. He practiced law, served in the General Assembly, held several judgeships, and upon the death of Zebulon Vance, completed his term in the U.S. Senate. As the only Southern Republican in the Senate, he became a confidant of President Theodore Roosevelt and advised him on Southern appointments and on all Southern policies.
