Ely S. Parker (AMPU)

Ely Samuel Parker (1828 – August 31, 1895), (born Hasanoanda, later known as Donehogawa) was an American attorney, engineer, and politician. During the Second American Revolution, he famously led a splinter force of volunteers from the state of Iroquois to join the Republicans, and became an important ally of Ulysses S. Grant. He wrote the final draft of the Confederate surrender terms at Washington. After the war President Grant nominated him to be Vice President of the United States, the first Native American to hold that post.
