Pringle, Edward Jenkins, 1826-1899

Activities

Biography

Born into an aristocratic Charleston family, Edward J. Pringle attended the South Carolina College in 1841 and transferred to Harvard, where he graduated with honors in 1845. He was admitted to the bar in 1847, but first decided to enjoy his wealth, and embarked on a two-year grand tour of Europe. Strong to his family business of being wealthy planters, he wrote in defense of slavery in 1857 with a work titled, "Slavery in the Southern States." Finding insufficient legal work in Charleston, he emigrated to San Francisco in 1853 to attempt a law career there. He and his wife, Cornelia Letitia Johnson had seven children. Edward died shortly after being named a commissioner to the California Supreme Court.
