description: "Charles H. Durkee was an American politician, activist, and Wisconsin pioneer. He represented Wisconsin as a United States senator from 1855 to 1861, and served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (1849–1853). Later in life he was appointed governor of the Utah Territory, serving from 1865 to 1869. Before his political career, Durkee was one of the founders of Kenosha, Wisconsin; he was a vehement advocate for temperance and abolition, though he personally struggled with alcoholism."
