Ethan Allen Hitchcock (September 19, 1835 – April 9, 1909) served under Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as U.S. Secretary of the Interior.

Early life

Born on September 19, 1835, in Mobile, Alabama, Hitchcock was in his sixties when first appointed by President McKinley to be U.S. minister to Russia in 1897.

He was recalled in the following year to serve in first McKinley's and then his successor, Roosevelt's, Cabinet. As Secretary of the Interior, Hitchcock pursued a vigorous program for the conservation of natural resources and reorganized the administration of Native American affairs.
