Born in 1865, James Rudolph Garfield was the second son of President James A. Garfield, who was shot only months after taking office in 1881. He built a career in federal service, first as commissioner of the Bureau of Corporations and then as Secretary of the Interior under Theodore Roosevelt from 1907 to 1909, when he took part in the administration's conservation and public land efforts. No date is recorded for this portrait, so its exact age is unknown, but it shows a man who came to prominence during the Progressive Era.
