He was Volney Erskine Howard, a New Englander by birth, who had first held public office in the Mississippi legislature.

As publisher of "The Mississippian," he took a strong stand against the Union bank which monopolized the politics of the state. Emnities aroused in this argument eventually led Howard into a duel with Hiram G. Runnels in which Howard was severely wounded. Soon afterward Howard left Mississippi. After a brief stay in New Orleans, Howard moved on to Texas.

Soon after his arrival he attended the first State Constitutional Convention as a delegate. Perhaps his most outstanding contribution to this history of the Lone Star domain was his impassioned speeches during the 1850 session of the national Congress, where he eloquently defended Texas' claim to the Rio Grande as a western boundary. Before the Civil War Howard moved on to California, where he had a part in San Francisco's turbulent history. There he commanded the militia ordered to suppress the famous "Vigilantes." His opposition to this group made him rather unpopular in the Bay City, as a result he moved to Los Angeles. He held several important judicial offices in California before his death.
