President Martin Van Buren (c. 1852)
Here we have the eighth President of the United States, Martin Van Buren (1782 – 1862), who was the initial president to be born and raised in America, rather than England.
Van Buren was a leader with a mixed opinion. Despite having raised the United States’ politics to previously unseen heights, his judgment was often regarded as controversial. Despite there being better quality images of the man, we selected this one thanks to its fascinating tale. Van Buren braved a heavy storm to make it to his appointment with Brady. Upon being questioned by Brady on his dedication to their appointment, Van Buren replied by saying that he would always do his best to come through with an arrangement with all his might.
