Arthur, Chester Alan

Arthur, Chester Alan (1829–86) 21st president of the United States (1881–85); born in Fairfield, Vermont. Vice president under James A. Garfield, Arthur took office upon Garfield's assassination (1881). Arthur endorsed creation of a modern navy and signed two bills authorizing construction of the nation's first steel ships. He was denied Republican renomination in 1884.

In the Civil War, Brig. Gen. Arthur was appointed acting quartermaster general of New York, given the complex task of feeding, housing, clothing, and equipping thousands of troops pouring into New York City on their way to combat.
