Taken between 1855 and 1865 by an unknown photographer, the image captures Stager's commanding presence as he gazes confidently into the camera. Anson Stager was a man of many accomplishments - co-founder of Western Union, first president of Western Electric Manufacturing Company, and a Union Army officer during the American Civil War. His role as head of the Military Telegraph Department during this tumultuous time highlights his significant contribution to communication and military strategy.
