President William McKinley, a prominent figure in American history, served as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 until his tragic assassination in 1901. Born between 1870 and 1880, this enigmatic photograph captures a young McKinley before he ascended to the highest office in the land. The image's creator remains unknown, leaving us to wonder about their connection to this future leader. Fast forward to November 27, 1900, and we find President McKinley at the White House captured by Levin Handy's lens. This snapshot offers a glimpse into his life during his second term as president. Little did anyone know that tragedy would soon befall him. The attempted assassination is forever etched in history through black and white photography. In this hauntingly powerful image, we witness the moment when an assailant tried to end McKinley's life but failed to extinguish his spirit or legacy. As news spread of his untimely demise following that fateful day in September 1901, mourners gathered for the funeral of President McKinley. Veterans of the Grand Army solemnly picked up flowers as a remembrance—a poignant tribute to honor their fallen leader who had fought valiantly for their nation. His ancestral home Conagher near Ballymoney stands testament not only to where he came from but also serves as a reminder that greatness can emerge from humble beginnings. It was here that seeds were sown which eventually led him down a path towards becoming one of America's most influential presidents. During his presidency marked by progress and prosperity for many Americans, tragedy struck when President McKinley fell ill while visiting Buffalo. Scenes at Milburn House capture those somber moments when uncertainty loomed over the nation—his illness casting a shadow on an otherwise vibrant era. Through lithographs capturing both sorrowful farewells and historic moments such as cabinet meetings at Washington's Executive Mansion, we gain a deeper understanding of McKinley's presidency.
