About
Chester Alan Arthur was born in Fairfield, Vermont, United states. He was the 21st President of the United States. He succeeded by embracing the cause of civil service reform. His advocacy for, and subsequent enforcement of, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was the centerpiece of his administration. He served as quartermaster general in the New York Militia during the American Civil War. After graduating, Arthur returned to Schaghticoke and became a full-time teacher, but soon began to pursue an education in the law. In 1853, after studying at State and National Law School in Ballston Spa, New York, and saving enough money, Arthur moved to New York City to read law at the law office of Erastus D. Culver, an abolitionist lawyer and family friend.
