John Hay (1898-1905), US Secretary of State, seen here as a young man, during his tenure as an assistant to President Abraham Lincoln, one of our most stubbornly un-mustached Presidents.

Less of a moustache and more of an aerofoil, of sorts.
One can imagine him waking up one morning to find this divine, winged creature alighted upon his upper lip. I wonder if it ever took to the air again?
This man is unseemly. He needs a trim . After all, he's the Secretary of State of the United States of America, not some rabble rousing belhoste, mango or wantcatcher!
well, jonathan, i am not wont to speculate about what messr. hay did in his off hours. i for one think his moustache is enviable.
In 9th grade I had to read Vidal's Lincoln and I remember John Hay being called "Johnny Hasheesh Hay."
I really enjoy your blog and writin' style by the way.
His moustache is all the more remarkable for belonging to a man who only lived to be seven years old.
