About Thomas Sturgis
Thomas Sturgis was a businessman, soldier, financier and politician. He was appointed the second New York City Fire Commissioner by Mayor Seth Low on January 1, 1902, and served in that position until the end of the Low Administration on December 31, 1903. Prior to this he served as a fire commissioner under William Lafayette Strong, replacing Austin E. Ford. Sturgis was also developer of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and financier. In the Pacific Historical Review, Gene M. Gressley wrote that Sturgis was "one of the few young easterners who came west in search of a fortune and stayed long enough to become one of the most respected men in the cattle industry."
