John Reagan served several terms in the U.S. House and Senate and also held posts with the Confederate States of America, including Postmaster General and Secretary of the Treasury. He was serving as chairman of the Railroad Commission of Texas when he posed for this bust. While many visitors see a resemblance to President Ronald Reagan, evidence confirms that they were not related.
