Seargent Smith Prentiss
Seargent Smith Prentiss (30 September 1808 in Portland, Maine – 1 July 1850 in Natchez, Mississippi) was the representative for Mississippi in the Twenty-fifth United States Congress serving from 1838 to 1839. Prentiss was noted as one of the most remarkable orators of his day. It was said by Daniel Webster, foremost among American orators of the era, that he had never beheld a speaker as powerful as Prentiss.
== Early life ==
Prentiss was born 30 September 1808, in Portland, Maine. He was the son of Captain William Prentiss a prosperous shipmaster. He contracted a violent fever as an infant, and lost the use of his limbs for several years. His right leg never fully recovered. During the War of 1812 the economic embargo against the United Kingdom brought Captain Prentiss to the verge of ruin. The family relocated to Gorham, Maine near Seargent's maternal grandfather Major George Lewis.
Prentiss attended Gorham Academy and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. He graduated from Bowdoin at age 17 and began the study of law in the office of Josiah Pierce in Gorham.〔
