Nelson F. Edwards

Nelson Frederick Edwards (born 6th April 1846) is a Vesperian politician who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1913 until 1917. Prior to that, he served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1901 until 1905 under President Ronald C. Pointon. He also served as a senator from Granham from 1881 until 1901. He won the Progressive nomination for President of the United States in the deeply divisive election of 1912, in which he defeated both the Federalist nominee, Vice President Vincent I. Sangster and the National Republican nominee, Senator Joseph A. Robinson. Edwards again won the Progressive nomination in 1916, but was defeated in the general election by the Federalist nominee, Totford Governor Frederick R. Hamilton.
