Alexander Wetmore - Photo Album, Panama, 1952 (Volume 2)

If you were traveling abroad as Secretary of the Smithsonian, what other influential people might you meet along the way? In 1952, Secretary Alexander Wetmore met with U.S. Ambassador John Wiley Cooper, who led America's first central intelligence agency during World War II. Wetmore's meeting with Cooper (who served as an Ambassador to Panama from 1951-1953) is one of many fascinating finds in this photo album from his 1952 research trip to Panama.
