During William Marshall's administration, his adoptive state experienced a post-Civil-War surge of growth and development: its population doubled to 350,000, its railroad mileage quadrupled, and its commercial endeavors flourished.
The first stops on young Marshall's trek north were Illinois and Wisconsin, where he mined for lead and surveyed land.
After leaving office, Marshall remained active in both the private and public sectors as a banker and as a railroad and land commissioner.
