Hoover Honor's Buchanan's Memory

“He played his part with a dignity and courage that only now are receiving the recognition they deserve” … That was the tribute of the present Chief Executive when, as pictured above, President Hoover faced a battery of microphones at the unveiling of a statue to James Buchanan in Meridian Hill Park. Washington. He accepted for the nation the monument which was made possible in the will of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnson, an orphan niece of the bachelor President.
