  • John Appleton (February 11, 1815 – August 22, 1864) was an American lawyer, politician and diplomat who served as the United States' first chargé d'affaires to Bolivia, and later as special envoy to Great Britain and Russia. Born in Beverly, Massachusetts, Appleton graduated from Bowdoin College in 1834 and attended Harvard Law School from 1835 to 1836. On leaving Harvard, he became a barrister and newspaper editor while maintaining a vigorous involvement in Democratic politics. In 1840 he was appointed as registrar of probates for Cumberland County, Maine, and in 1845 became Chief Clerk for the United States Department of the Navy. In January 1848 Appleton was promoted to Chief Clerk of the State Department, but resigned in March when he was named as the United States' first chargé d'affaires to Bolivia. The posting was unsuccessful, and Appleton resigned after six months service and returned to the United States to pursue his personal political interests. In 1851 he was narrowly elected to Congress, representing Maine's 2nd congressional district. As a Congressman he became noted for his oratorical skills, and was selected to give the obituary address for former Senator and Secretary of State Daniel Webster in 1852. In 1855 Appleton was sent as diplomatic envoy to London, England to promote United States interests in negotiations to end the Crimean War. He returned to the United States in 1857 and was appointed as the fourth Assistant Secretary of State, a post he held for the following three years. As Assistant Secretary he opened discussions with Russia regarding a prospective Alaska Purchase, leading to the United States acquiring that territory in 1867. Concurrently, he was editor of a pro-Democratic newspaper The Washington Union, but his career was marred by allegations that he misused this position for personal gain. He was the United States' envoy to Russia from 1860 until his retirement in 1861. Appleton died on August 22, 1864, and is buried in Portland's Evergreen Cemetery. (en)

  • Джон Эплтон (11 февраля 1815, Беверли, Массачусетс — 22 августа 1864 или 23 августа 1864, Портленд, Мэн) — американский юрист, политик и дипломат. Первый поверенный в делах США в Боливии, а затем специальный представитель в Великобритании и Российской империи. В 1851 году он был избран в Конгресс США, представляя 2-ой избирательный округ Мэна. Как конгрессмен он стал известен своими ораторскими способностями. В 1855 году Эплтон был направлен в Лондон в качестве дипломатического посланника для продвижения интересов США в переговорах по окончанию Крымской войны. Он вернулся в Соединенные Штаты в 1857 году и был назначен на должность заместителя госсекретаря, которую он занимал в течение следующих трех лет. В этом качестве он начал переговоры с Россией о возможной покупке Аляски. Одновременно он был редактором продемократической газеты The Washington Union, но его карьера была омрачена утверждениями о том, что он использовал эту должность для личной выгоды. Эплтон был чрезвычайным и полномочным посланником США в России с 1860 года до своей отставки в 1861 году. (ru)
