"Pussyfoot" Johnson (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Richard Norton said:

  William Eugene "Pussyfoot" Johnson (25 March 1862 – 2 February 1945) was an American Prohibition advocate and law enforcement officer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_E._Johnson

• Adam Silvia said:

  Thanks for identifying Johnson’s full name, Richard. We’ll add it to the catalog record!

• Laura Bernhardt said:

  This photo was probably taken after Johnson lost his right eye in a hazing accident in London; this is why he seems half wide-eyed in the image. For the full story, check out both the introduction and Ch. 10 of F.A. McKenzie's 1920 biography of Johnson -- the whole text available through Google Books here: books.google.com/books?id=HaEEAAAAYAAJ&ots=CrRa8-Zy3h...

• Arden said:

  Thanks Laura for the details about how Johnson lost his eye. We will add more to the description.

  The evils of drink! Nice one and I love the motto at the end!

  Yes, it is very dramatic, isn't it?
