Excellent portrait ; Quality *** after 90 years !

Lindley Garrison was the Secretary of War (1913-1916) under Woodrow Wilson. (CoryQ)

An aptly-named fellow, it would seem.

LOL@ Pixel's take on the Garrison name. Perhaps Microsoft should have been making "Gates" instead of "windows".

So glad to get a history lesson and enjoy it lol !!!

Josephus Daniels (1862–1948) was Secretary of the Navy during the Wilson administration. The North Carolina Democrat and long-time publisher of the Raleigh News & Observer also served as Ambassador to Mexico during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Daniels tended to be progressive in most matters other than race, and he remained a lifelong white supremacist. Wikipedia article. Josephus Daniels' family.

William Cox Redfield (1858–1932) served as a Democratic Representative from New York in the U.S. Congress, 1911–1913. He was the first U.S. Secretary of Commerce, installed as head the newly-created department by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. He held the position until his resignation late in 1919.
