Leonard Wood (October 9, 1860 – August 7, 1927) was a physician who served as the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Military Governor of Cuba and Governor General of the Philippines. Early in his military career, he received the Medal of Honor. Wood also holds officer service #2 in the Regular Army (John Pershing holds officer service #1). He was present at the 1906 First Battle of Bud Dajo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Wood Colonel Arthur Hale Woods (January 29, 1870 – May 12, 1942) was an American educator, journalist, military and law enforcement officer. One of the most prominent police reformers during the early 20th century, he served as deputy New York City Police Commissioner from 1907 to 1909 and later became New York City Police Commissioner in 1914. During his time with the NYPD, he was largely responsible for initiating criminology and sociology in modern policing. In his later years, Woods worked with the Division of Military Aeronautics and was involved in government committees on unemployment under the administrations of Presidents Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover. Woods was also an important public servant as trustee for the Board of Education and presided as president and chairman of the board of Rockefeller Center. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Hale_Woods

The Great Reunion, Gettysburg, July 1913: www.nps.gov/archive/gett/getttour/sidebar/reunion13.htm

I believe that Fort Leonard Wood, here in Missouri, is named for this general.

Actually, it should be General Liggett as flickr user Wystan noted here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3640756941/in/p...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Circa, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Thanks for the pictures.Greetings.

The caption, somewhat legible, on several of these photos (just barely on this one), says "3/4/13", corresponding to the first inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, March 4, 1913, as noted, for instance, in this source and also the date is noted by the Library of Congress. Edit: Gen. Leonard Wood, Army Chief of Staff 1910-1914.

Cotinis: Thank you for the information. Looks like the photo does relate to the first Wilson inauguration. We will update the source data and reload the description.
