Summary: Two ladies and a man stand next to a fence while another man nearby is on a bicycle in front of the two story stone house. [Faulk, Andrew--26 Nov 1814-05 Sep 1898] Governor of the Dakota Territory. He was born in Milford, Pike County, Pennsylvania, and moved with his family to Kittanning, Pennsylvania, where he received his education. In his early life he was a printer and a journalist, editing the Armstrong County Democrat. He studied law, entered into politics, and served as a County Treasurer. In 1861 Faulk moved to the Dakota Territory, having been appointed the Chief Clerk to the Yankton Agency. The Territory was in a state of political chaos. The chief of the Yankton Agency, Walter Burleigh, and the Territorial Governor, Newton P. Edmunds, were accusing each other of corruption. Burleigh proved to be the more adept politician, convincing the President to remove the Governor, and appoint Faulk in his place. Faulk happened to be Burleigh’s father-in-law. President Andrew Johnson appointed Andrew J. Faulk as the Territorial Governor, and he served from September 3, 1866 until May 10, 1869. Faulk’s administration is mainly remembered for allowing the expansion of settlers into the Black Hills, which was protected from any development by treaty. Faulk never directly condoned it, but he did nothing to stop this invasion. It was a political view shared by many people in that era. Following his time in office, Faulk remained in the Territory, served as the Mayor of Yankton, and continued to help move the region towards statehood. Faulk County, South Dakota, is named in his honor. Bio by: EddieM
