EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, USN, serving as Paymaster General from 1917. The photograph was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio during the 1910s. McGowan's distinguished naval career began in 1883 when he entered the US Navy as a Passed Midshipman. He rose through the ranks, becoming a Paymaster in 1895. McGowan's expertise in financial management proved invaluable during times of war, and he served in various capacities during the Spanish-American War and both World Wars. As Paymaster General, McGowan oversaw the financial operations of the US Navy, ensuring the smooth functioning of the military machine during a time of great need. The American National Bank played a crucial role in these efforts, and McGowan worked closely with Congress to secure the necessary funding for naval operations. This black and white portrait captures the serious and focused expression of a man who understood the importance of his role in the US Navy. The image is a testament to the critical nature of financial management in warfare and the vital contributions of individuals like Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress in Washington DC, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the people and events that shaped American history during the 20th century.
