Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fletcher Bowron (August 13, 1887 September 11, 1968) was the 35th Mayor of Los Angeles, California from September 26, 1938 until June 30, 1953. Until Thomas Bradley passed his length of service during the 1980s, Bowron held the distinction of having the longest tenure in that position in city history. Bowron was born in Poway, California, the youngest of three children. His parents, who had migrated from the Midwest, sent him to Los Angeles High School, where he graduated in 1904. In 1907, he began studies at UC Berkeley, where his two brothers had graduated, then enrolled in the University of Southern California Law School two years later. However, because of financial difficulties, he paid for law school by becoming a reporter for San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles newspapers, working the City Hall and court beats in the latter city. He was finallyadmitted to the bar in 1917. Upon the U.S. entry into World War I, Bowron enlisted in the Army, serving in the 14th Field Artillery before transferring to the military intelligence division. Upon his return, he once again practiced law before he married Irene Martin in 1922.
