Albert B. Fall

Albert B. Fall, born on November twenty-sixth, eighteen sixty-one, was a prominent figure in American politics, serving as a United States senator from New Mexico. His career was marked by significant roles, including his tenure as secretary of the interior under President Warren G. Harding.

Fall's legacy is often overshadowed by his involvement in the infamous Teapot Dome scandal, a political controversy that would define his career. He became the only individual convicted as a result of this affair, which involved the secret leasing of federal oil reserves.

In addition to his political endeavors, Fall served as a captain in the United States Army. He was an advocate for a military invasion of Mexico in nineteen sixteen, believing it was necessary to put an end to the raids conducted by the notorious revolutionary Pancho Villa.
