Energy and ambition characterized the life of Minnesota's fifth—and only "southern-born" governor. He was born in Columbia, Missouri. The first stops on young Marshall's trek north were Illinois and Wisconsin, where he mined for lead and surveyed land. In 1849 he crossed the St. Croix River to settle in St. Paul, soon home of his fledgling hardware business. His political career began with a term in the first territorial legislature, and his reputation grew when he served as chairman of the convention that founded the state's Republican Party. The one-time banker, dairy farmer, stock-raiser, and newspaper publisher volunteered to fight in both the Civil War and the Dakota War of 1862.

A battle-scarred hero, an experienced entrepreneur, and a force in the Republican Party, Marshall handily won the 1865 and 1867 gubernatorial elections. As governor, he repeatedly urged passage of a black suffrage amendment. After defeating it twice, the legislature finally adopted the amendment and inspired Marshall to declare that the "free young state of Minnesota" is "now altogether free." 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.

After leaving office, Marshall remained active in both the private and public sectors as an attorney, banker, and as a railroad and land commissioner. He was a partner in a law firm with Jude Kerr and Robertson Howard while residing in St. Paul, but subsequent commercial ventures faltered, as did his health. He moved to California in 1894 and died there two years later in 1896 in Pasadena, California. Robertson Howard (1847-1899), was an attorney, editor for West Publishing, and founder of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. ...
