Henry S. Russell
edit- ... that 5th Regiment Massachusetts Colored Volunteer Cavalry commander Henry S. Russell later served as the first solo commissioner of the Boston Fire Department? "This brings us up to the appointment of Col. Henry S. Russell...in July, 1895, to undertake, as the first single commissioner, the direction of the department."

Article is new and long enough. It is neutral, and cites sources inline. Is it possible that the verb "enter" under the section "Military career" should be in past tense "entered"? No close paraphrasing issues according to "Earwig's Copyvio Detector". The hook is well-formatted and is interesting. Its length is within limit. Its fact is cited inline. Part of the fact is cited with offline source, for which I AGF. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 09:56, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
