Langdon "has always been a favorite of mine."

Photo caption includes: "The locket, top left, a miniature watercolor on ivory portrait of Charles Carter Langdon, was painted in 1823 in Mobile." If the early date is correct, apparently when he was 18, it seems unusual that the portrait was painted in Mobile, although an unusually sophisticated city for the time. The portrait actually appears to be a man past 30 years old.
Mobile REGISTER, June 20, 1971, p.B4: "Langdon was editor of the Mobile Daily Advertiser, a Whig newspaper, during the 1840's and 1850's. He served in the legislature again in 1855-1856, 1862, 1881, 1882 and 1883. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 18655 and 1875. Langdon was unsuccessful as a candidate for governor in 1872 and 1878. He was elected to Congress, however, in 1865 but, along with other Southerners, was denied his seat."
By 1870 he was the agricultural editor of the Mobile Register (1870 Mobile City Directory, page 315) "and promotes scientific approaches to that enterprise." (ref., Thomas M. Owen.)
C.C. Langdon owned a famous ornamental nursery at Langdon's Station near Citronelle. It was called the largest nursery in the state by 1858. Some of his catalogs from 1858 to 1874 are used in preserving as well as recreating historic Southern gardens.
The Langdon Lookout Tower is located at Citronelle at N31.04796° W88.22139° (NAD83) and at an elevation of 291 ft MSL.
