Daniel B. Lucas
Daniel Bedinger Lucas (1836 in at Rion Hall near Charles Town, Virginia – 1909 in Charles Town, West Virginia), was a poet and lawyer from West Virginia. He was the son of United States Senator William Lucas.
==Biography==
Daniel Lucas graduated from the University of Virginia and earned his law diploma from Washington College and graduated in 1856. He studied under Judge John W. Brockenbrough of Lexington and was admitted to the bar in 1859.〔''The West Virginia Encyclopedia'', West Virginia Humanities Council, 2006, pg. 437〕 He served with General Henry A. Wise during the Civil War in the Kanawha campaign of 1861. Late in the war he escaped a blockade of Virginia to aid his college friend John Yates Beall, who had been arrested as a spy. He left Richmond on January 1, 1865, and crossed the Potomac River through the ice in a small skiff. He was not allowed to assist in the defense of Beall by General Dix, and resided in Canada some months.〔White, Robert, Col. ''Confederate Military History, Extended Edition, Vol. III West Virginia'', Broadfoot Publishing Company, Wilmington, NC, 1987, pg. 227〕
Beall was executed on Governor's Island in New York on February 24, 1865.〔Headley, John W. ''Confederate Operations in Canada and New York'', Neale Publishing Company, 1906, pgs. 359-366〕 Unable to return to Virginia, Lucas composed his most famous poem ''The Land Where We Were Dreaming'', shortly after the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox. His work often earned him the epithet "The Poet Laureate of the Lost Cause", an honor he shared with several other Southern writers. When he returned to West Virginia the proscription on ex-Confederates in the practice of law prevented him from resuming his career until 1870, when restrictions were lifted.〔''The West Virginia Encyclopedia'', pg. 437〕〔"Lucas, Daniel Bedinger, ''The Land Where We Were Dreaming'', Richard G. Badger, Boston, 1913, pgs. iii-iv〕 He returned to his law practice and was elected to the West Virginia Legislature from 1884 to 1887.
In 1887, he strongly opposed Johnson N. Camden, whom he considered an ally of Standard Oil.〔(Daniel Bedinger Lucas )〕 This led Governor Emanuel Willis Wilson to appoint Daniel Lucas to the United States Senate. The legislature, however, decided instead to elect Charles J. Faulkner. Governor Wilson appointed Lucas to the Supreme Court of Appeals on December 11, 1889. Lucas also served as President of the Court during his service.
