About: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Samuel_Bigger

Samuel Bigger was a Whig governor of the U.S. state of Indiana from December 9 1840 to December 6 1843. Bigger was nominated to run for governor because he had no connection to the failed public works program. The state had entered a severe financial crisis in his predecessors term and the government became insolvent during his first year in office. He oversaw the state's bankruptcy negotiations, but the bankruptcy he negotiated was only able to return the state to solvency briefly.
