Joseph Hodges Choate (1832-1917)

He was an American lawyer and diplomat whose legal career lasted over fifty years and included many famous cases. Choate twice helped New York City to defeat Tammany Hall, in 1871 when the Tweed Ring was exposed, and again in 1894. In 1899, President William McKinley appointed him ambassador to Great Britain, and he served for six years with distinction, helping to promote Anglo-American friendship. Choate was a founder and trustee of the American Museum of Natural History.
