Edward Clark (April 1, 1815 - May 4, 1880) was an American politician in the mid 19th century in the state of Texas and Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. From 1859 to 1861 he served as the state's lieutenant governor, and succeeded to the governorship on March 18, 1861 when incumbent Governor Sam Houston refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States of America and thus (according to the state's secession convention, a body of dubious legality) forfeited the office.

abstract
  • Edward Clark (April 1, 1815 - May 4, 1880) was an American politician in the mid 19th century in the state of Texas and Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. From 1859 to 1861 he served as the state's lieutenant governor, and succeeded to the governorship on March 18, 1861 when incumbent Governor Sam Houston refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States of America and thus (according to the state's secession convention, a body of dubious legality) forfeited the office. Clark was narrowly defeated in a very close election for his own term as governor, losing to Francis Lubbock on November 7, 1861. On leaving the state house, he joined the Confederate States Army as a colonel and became commanding officer of the 14th Texas Volunteer Infantry. He was given a field promotion to brigadier general in 1864 after being wounded in battle. After the war he briefly fled to Mexico but returned to the US and lived out the rest of his life there.
