PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER
Born: August 10, 1874 in West Branch, Iowa
Died: October 20, 1964 in New York City, New York
Died: October 20, 1964 in New York City, New York
HOOVER (1874-1964) had never held elected office before winning landslide election to the Presidency in 1928, but he had a broad background as a mining engineer, the architect of US relief efforts in stricken Europe during and following World War I, and Secretary of Commerce under President Coolidge. Hoover's efforts to combat the Depression were judged inadequate by the electorate, which repudiated him for Democrat Franklin Roosevelt in 1932. He had some opportunity to restore his reputation when President Truman appointed him to head a commission ("the Hoover Commission") to streamline the federal bureaucracy in 1947. This photo represents President Hoover's Cabinet from 1930 to 1932.
