Early life

Allen A. Bradford was born in Friendship, Maine, on July 23, 1815, a son of Cornelius Bradford and Hannah (Gay) Bradford.[1][2] He was raised on his family's farm, attended the local schools, and was a student at several academies in the Camden, Maine, area.[2] After completing his education, he taught school while studying law in the Thomaston, Maine, office of Jonathan Cilley.[3]

In 1841, Bradford moved to Atchison County, Missouri, where he continued to teach school and study law.[3] He attained admission to the bar in 1845 and practiced in Atchison County.[3] From 1845 to 1850, Bradford served as clerk of the Missouri Circuit Court for Atchison County.[2] In 1850, he made a California Gold Rush trip to the West Coast, but decided not to remain, and he returned to Missouri in 1851.[2] Later that year he moved to Sidney, Iowa, where he continued to practice law.[2] From 1852 to 1855, he served as judge of Iowa's 6th District Court.[2]

Continued career

In 1855, Bradford moved to Nebraska City, Nebraska Territory, where he continued practicing law.[2] He was soon elected to the territorial legislature, and he served in the second, third, and fourth sessions, 1856, 1857, and 1858.[2] In 1860, he moved to Central City, Colorado Territory, where he resumed practicing law.[2] In 1862, he was appointed to the territory's supreme court, and he moved to Pueblo.[2] Bradford remained on the bench until 1865, when he resigned to take his seat in Congress.[2]

In 1864, Bradford was elected as Colorado's territorial delegate to the United States House of Representatives, and he served one term, March 4, 1865, to March 3, 1867.[4] He was not a candidate for reelection in 1866 and resumed practicing law in Pueblo.[4] In 1868, he was again elected to Congress, and he served as Colorado's delegate from March 4, 1869, to March 3, 1871.[4] After completing his second term, Bradford returned to Pueblo to practice law.[4] From 1871 to 1881, he served as county attorney of Pueblo County.[3]
