John Bowden Connally Jr. (February 27, 1917 - June 15, 1993) was an American politician. He served as the 39th Governor of Texas and as the 61st United States Secretary of the Treasury. He began his career as a Democrat and later became a Republican in 1973. Born in Floresville, Texas, Connally pursued a legal career after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin. During World War II, he served on the staff of James Forrestal and Dwight D. Eisenhower before transferring to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. After the war, he became an aide to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. When Johnson assumed the vice presidency in 1961, he convinced President John F. Kennedy to appoint Connally to the position of United States Secretary of the Navy. Connally left the Kennedy Administration in December 1961 to run for Governor of Texas, and he held that position from 1963 to 1969. In 1963, Connally was riding in the presidential limousine when Kennedy was assassinated, and was seriously wounded. During his governorship, he was a conservative Democrat. In 1971, Republican President Nixon appointed Connally as his Treasury Secretary. Connally presided over the removal of the U.S. dollar from the gold standard, an event known as the Nixon shock. Connally stepped down from the Cabinet in 1972 to lead the Democrats for Nixon organization, which campaigned for Nixon's re-election. He sought the Republican nomination for president in the 1980 election, but withdrew from the race after the first set of primaries. In History's Shadow, finished right before Connally's death, is the story of his life in politics, told with an unmistakable Texas twang. It was a life of almost Shakespearean range, marked by great triumphs as well as personal tragedy and heartbreak. He wanted to be President, but that is the only ambition that eluded him. He lived under thirteen Presidents and served under Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. He knew American government--and the men who ran it--as intimately as anyone in his time. In History's Shadow is a true epic of the American Century. Derived from a Kirkus review: In a crowded life, Connally was aide and confidant to Lyndon Johnson, businessman, secretary of the navy, governor of Texas, secretary of the treasury under Nixon, and presidential candidate. But he understood that he would be `identified forever as the man who was wounded by the gun that killed John Kennedy,' as he acknowledges matter-of-factly in this memoir. Two chapters here recount Connally's version of November 22, 1963, as he takes up arms against conspiracy theorists for `renewing the nation's most haunting ordeal'. But even aside from the `six seconds in Dallas,' the rest of Connally's life still would be enough to merit his reminiscencesâ"which, besides his stints in public office, cover his 1973 switch from the Democratic to the Republican Party; his 1974 indictment and acquittal on bribery charges in connection with the Watergate-era `milk fund'; and his 1987 bankruptcy. The best chapters detail the author's relationship with LBJ, whom Connally characterizes with affectionate exasperation as a kind of political older brotherâ"impossible to work for but desperately craving to be liked. Like two other rangy Texans, Sam Houston and LBJ, Connally became a major controversial national figure by transforming his state. Bristling with self-confidence and energy, his memoir tells about his Texas beliefs. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Todd Johnson (Front of Jacket photograph) (illustrator).…

Rare typed letter signed by the 36th President of the United States to the Governor of Texas. Quarto, one page on The White House letterhead, dated July 29 1964, the letter reads, 'Dear Governor Connally: Today I have wired the Presidents of leading state universities of the nation as follows: 'A number of state universities are engaged in important studies of the development of their states and regions over the next twenty years or so. I am deeply interested in these studies and to further them in any way I can, I am inviting the Presidents of leading state universities throughout the United States to the White House on August 13, 1964 at 1 p.m.' I am pleased to note that the group includes four universities in your state. Of course I know that you share my interest in these studies. If you have any suggestions as to how we here in Washington -- in addition to this conference -- might further the studies, please do not fail to write me. With personal regards, Sincerely, "Lyndon B. Johnson." Honorable John B. Connally Governor of Texas Austin, Texas.' The recipient, Governor John B. Connally met and befriended Lyndon Johnson in 1936 at the University of Texas at Austin, who helped him get a job at the University library and who received help in return with his 1937 bid for Congress. After the Second World War, Connally served as an aide to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, and when Johnson became Vice President in 1961, President John F. Kennedy was convinced to appoint Connally to the position of United States Secretary of the Navy. In 1961, Connally left the Kennedy Administration in run for Governor of Texas and won, becoming the 39th governor of Texas. When Kennedy was assassinated, Connally was riding in the presidential limousine and was seriously wounded. This letter is dated the year after the assassination and Johnson's swearing in as President. In near fine condition with a small loss to the top edge. An excellent association. Lyndon Baines Johnson was an American politician who served as the 36th President of the United States from 1963 to 1969, assuming the office after serving as the 37th Vice President of the United States under President John F. Kennedy from 1961 to 1963. A Democrat from Texas, he previously served as a United States Representative from 1937 to 1949 and then as a United States Senator from 1949 to 1961. He spent six years as Senate Majority Leader, two as Senate Minority Leader, and two more as Senate Majority Whip.…
