Henry Cabot Lodge: A Biography

April 8, 2020
From Daniel Webster to Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts has a storied tradition of electing United States senators who enjoy an outsized presence on the national stage. One of the most prominent among this group is Henry Cabot Lodge, the Boston Brahmin who over the course of his three decades in the Senate exercised a profound and enduring influence on both national and international events. Drawing upon Lodge’s personal papers and the records left by his contemporaries, John A. Garraty pushes past the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding Lodge to better understand the man and his legacy as a politician.

Garraty begins his book by recounting Lodge’s early years. The son of a prominent upper-class family, he enjoyed a privileged childhood and an elite education in which he earned both a legal degree and a Ph.D in history and government. Though initially an academic, he soon gravitated towards public office and was a rising star in Massachusetts politics in the 1870s and 1880s. These were formative years for the budding politician

George Edward Lodge British, 1860-1954

George Edward Lodge was brought up in Lincolnshire and educated at home. As a child he was already fascinated by birds as well as by taxidermy: he stuffed his first bird, an owl, at the age of twelve. As a student at the Lincoln School of Art he was awarded fourteen prizes for drawing and later became an expert wood engraver.

As a young man he travelled widely, visiting Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), Japan, the United States, Scandinavia and the West Indies. A great sportsman, he made annual visits to Scotland and the salmon rivers of Norway, where he gathered material for his work on raptors. He was a keen falconer and spent the last part of his life in a house at Camberley which he named Hawk House.

Lodge was a prolific illustrator, being best remembered for his superb work on Dr Bannerman's twelve volumes of The Birds of the British Isles. He only wrote one book, though, at the age of eighty-five: Memories of an Artist Naturalist. 


The George Lodge Trust has been recently established to encourage awareness in the l
