EDITORS COMMENTS
A Summer Soiree on Governors Island: Sec'y Stimson & Gen. Grant at Leisure"
In this charming photograph taken in July 1911, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and General Frederick Dent Grant are seen enjoying a lawn party on Governors Island. The occasion was likely the annual gathering sponsored by the Army Relief Society, which raised funds for widows and orphans of military personnel.
As they relax amidst lush greenery, Sec'y Stimson (left) sports his signature three-piece suit and hat, while Gen. Grant (right), commanding officer on Governors Island at the time, dons a crisp uniform with medals adorning his chest. The two men are surrounded by an entourage of military personnel and officials.
This candid moment captures the lighter side of these prominent figures in American history. Sec'y Stimson was known for his strong sense of duty and commitment to public service, while Gen. Grant, son of Ulysses S. Grant, served as a respected leader within the US Army.
The photograph is part of an extensive collection held at the Library of Congress's Heritage Images archive, which preserves America's visual heritage through iconic images like this one from Bain News Service.
