Julius Burrows, here depicted alongside a lengthy profile article in Harper’s Weekly, represented a Michigan district for 14 years in the House. He was known as an expert at guiding legislation on the floor, one of the “colonels of debate, the uhlans and hussars of a parliamentary body.” Less than a year after this article was published, he was appointed to the Senate, where he spent another six years in congressional service.
