Robert Lincoln, 35th Secretary of War

Robert Lincoln, age 21 or 22, photographed by Mathew Brady in 1865. Robert Todd Lincoln (August 1, 1843 - July 26, 1926) was an American lawyer and Secretary of War, and the first son of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln (only one of Lincoln's four sons to live to adulthood). Lincoln graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1860, then studied at Harvard University from 1861 to 1864. He then enrolled in Harvard Law School but did not graduate. He served as part of General Grant's staff and was present at Appomattox when Lee surrendered. In 1877 he turned down President Rutherford B. Hayes' offer to appoint him Assistant Secretary of State, but later accepted an appointment as President James Garfield's Secretary of War, serving from 1881 to 1885 under Presidents Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. He served as the US minister to the United Kingdom from 1889 to 1893 under President Benjamin Harrison. Afterwards, he returned to private business as a lawyer. He was a serious amateur astronomer. He constructed an observatory at his home and equipped it with a refracting telescope. He made his last public appearance at the dedication ceremony in Washington, D.C. for his father's memorial on May 30, 1922. He died in his sleep in 1926 at the age of 82. The cause of death was given by his physician as a "cerebral hemorrhage induced by arteriosclerosis".
