Thomas Ewing
(December 28, 1789 – October 26, 1871) was a
country lawyer
from Ohio who was elected to the
United States Senate
in 1830 as a
Whig
. He later served as
Secretary of the Treasury
and the first
Secretary of the Interior
. In the latter capacity, he earned the nickname "Butcher Ewing" because he replaced so many officials with political appointees. This
line engraving
of Ewing was produced around 1902 by the
Department of the Treasury
's
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
(BEP) as part of a
BEP presentation album
of the first 42 secretaries of the treasury.
