In this captivating collection of portraits, we catch a glimpse into their influential tenures. Jacob Thompson, hailing from Mississippi and serving between 1855 and 1865, left an indelible mark on land management during a tumultuous era. Orville Hickman Browning also played a pivotal role during these years as he navigated through challenging times with resilience. Moving forward in time, Jacob D. Cox took up the mantle between 1860 and 1875. His unknown creator captures his determination and dedication to preserving America's natural treasures. Another Jacob D.

C Lamar of Mississippi whose tenure spanned from 1865 to 1880 - an era marked by transformational change for our nation's interior landscapes. Senator Henry Teller added his unique perspective as Colorado's representative during this period.
