    Historic Portrait of U.S. Senator Key Pittman

    $29.95

    This photograph features Key Pittman, a prominent American politician who served as a U.S. Senator from Nevada from 1913 until his death in 1940. Born on February 4, 1872, Pittman was a key figure in the early 20th-century politics of the American West, and he played a pivotal role during his tenure in shaping policies related to mining and labor rights, which were crucial for Nevadas burgeoning economy. His work also included advocating for the New Deal programs initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which aimed to provide relief and recovery during the Great Depression.

    Pittman was known for his affable personality and staunch commitment to his constituents and the state of Nevada. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Boulder Canyon Project, which included the construction of the Hoover Dam, a significant infrastructure development that transformed the region’s economy and water supply. His influence extended to American foreign policy as well, as he served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, participating in debates over the U.S. involvement in international affairs during a tumultuous period leading up to World War II.

    This photograph, likely produced by the Bain News Service, highlights Pittman at a time when he was actively engaged in the political landscape of the nation. While theres no recorded date or location accompanying the image, understanding Pittmans notable contributions allows us to appreciate the legacy he left behind, not just for Nevada but for American politics as a whole.
