Mini Biography

Charles Curtis was born near Topeka, Kansas, in 1860. Of Native American ancestry (possibly as much as half), he lived on a Kaw Indian reservation for several years early in his life. In 1881 he was admitted to the state bar in Kansas, and was the Shawnee County District Attorney from 1885 to 1889. He ran for Congress on the Republican ticket in 1893 and won, and served as a U.S. Representative until 1907, when he ran for and won a seat in the U.S. Senate. He served until 1913, when he was defeated in a re-election bid. However, he ran again in 1915 and won, and served until 1929, when he resigned to become Herbert Hoover's Vice Presidential candidate in the 1929 election, which they won. He served as Vice President until 1932, when he and Hoover lost their bid for re-election. Curtis stayed in Washington, DC, to practice law. He died there in 1936.



Trivia

Was the first (acknowledged) man of non-European ancestry to occupy a position in the White House, being part American Indian (Kaw tribe). The only other White House occupant to have Native American ancestry (as far as is known) was President Bill Clinton, some of whose ancestors came from the Cherokee tribe.

Cousin of Heather Blair, on her paternal grandmother's side.
