'''Carlos Douglas Shelden''' (June 10, 1840 – June 24, 1904) was a soldier and politician from the [[U.S. state]] of [[Michigan]].
Shelden was born in [[Walworth, Wisconsin]] and moved with his parents to [[Houghton County, Michigan]] in 1847. He attended the Union School of [[Ypsilanti, Michigan]] and returned to his home in the fall of 1861. He served throughout the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] as captain in the Twenty-third Regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry.
At the end of his service, Shelden returned to Houghton County and engaged in mining, machining, real estate, and the steamboat business. Years later, he served in the [[Michigan House of Representatives]] from Houghton County 2nd District, 1893–94 and served in the [[Michigan Senate]] ([[Michigan's 32nd Senate district|32nd District]]) in 1894.
In 1896, Shelden was elected as a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] from [[Michigan's 12th congressional district]] to the [[55th United States Congress]]. He was subsequently re-elected to the [[56th United States Congress|56th]] and [[57th United States Congress|57th]] Congresses, serving from March 4, 1897 to March 3, 1903 in the [[U.S. House of Representatives|U.S. House]]. He was an unsuccessful candidate for re-nomination in 1902, losing to fellow Republican [[H. Olin Young]].
