History in Motion - Gen. F.D. Grant and Sec'ry Stimson Meet on Governors Island
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black-and-white photograph captures a moment of significance as General Frederick Dent Grant, commanding officer on Governors Island, warmly greets Secretary of War Henry I. Stimson during the 1911 annual lawn party sponsored by the Army Relief Society. The event aimed to raise funds for widows and orphans of officers and enlisted men in the regular army.
As they shake hands, their expressions convey a sense of camaraderie and respect, reflecting their shared commitment to serving America's armed forces. Grant, a prominent figure in American history as President Ulysses S. Grant's son-in-law and later a general himself, stands tall alongside Stimson, who would go on to become Secretary of War under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge.
This poignant image not only freezes time but also provides insight into the lives of these influential individuals during a pivotal moment in American history. The photograph was taken by Bain News Service, an esteemed news agency known for its high-quality glass negatives, which have been preserved at the Library of Congress as part of their rich cultural heritage collection.
