Johnson, Greeneville, Tenn.” Other prominent signers include Hannibal Hamlin, Alexander Stephens, Stephen A. Douglas, Thomas Hart Benton, John J. Crittenden, and Hamilton Fish. The first portion of the book is devoted to senators and contains 45 signatures, followed by 216 representatives; signatures are generally clustered by location, with nearly all signers adding their state below.
