Summer Soiree on Governors Island - A Rare Glimpse into History's Social Circle
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1911, two prominent figures of American history - Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and General Frederick Dent Grant - are captured at a lawn party on Govsors Island. The occasion was likely the annual event sponsored by the Army Relief Society, which raised funds for widows and orphans of military personnel.
Stimson, dressed in formal attire, is seen arm-in-arm with General Grant, who commanded forces on Governors Island during this period. Their direct gazes towards the camera convey a sense of camaraderie and respect as they mingle among guests at the garden party. The photograph also features bystanders enjoying the festivities under a banner bearing an American flag.
This rare glimpse into history's social circle offers a unique opportunity to see two influential figures from different walks of life - one in politics, another in military leadership - coming together for a good cause. This historic image is now preserved as part of Heritage Images' collection, providing future generations with a tangible connection to the past.
