JACOB D. Jacob Dolson Cox, twenty-eighth governor of Ohio, was born October 27, 1828, in Montreal, Canada, where his father, a well-known New York contractor, was superintending the roof construction of the Church of Notre Dame.
In the spring of 1860 Cox was appointed brigadier general of the Ohio militia, and with Garfield made an intensive study of military science during the 1860-61 session of the legislature.
Cox's administration was not notable, for the radicals and con- servatives within the Republican ranks, with Cox favoring the latter, were badly divided on critical postwar issues, and the result was inaction.

Tall, handsome, and highly intelligent, Cox was among the best of the North's "political generals," one who exemplified the contention he made in his Military Reminiscences that once they acquired the needed experience, nonprofessionals possessing the requisite personal qualities were as capable of commanding troops as the typical West Pointer.
Cox served as governor of Ohio (1866-1867), as Secretary of the Interior (1869-1870), in the House of Representatives (1877-1879), as dean of the Cincinnati Law School (1881-1897), and as president of the University of Cincinnati (1885-1889).
