Jacob Weisbach, ca. 1880
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Ca. 1880. R. Jacob Weisbach was elected mayor of Tacoma May 5, 1884. Mr. Weisbach, a grocery store owner and active in the German Society, defeated E.S. (Skookum) Smith by a 39 vote margin. According to author Herbert Hunt, Mayor Weisbach openly sympathized with the anti-Chinese element and led in the forcible expulsion of the Chinese from Tacoma in 1885. The mayor and 26 other citizens, many of them prominent in business and society, were taken into federal custody but eventually all charges were quashed. Picture for Herbert Hunt's "Tacoma, Its History and Its Builders, Volume 1" opp p.360 ALBUM 16. (Hunt: Tacoma Its History and Its Builders, Vol. 1., p. 319-20; p. 355-) |
