Cordell Hull (1871-1955)
Cordell Hull was born in a log cabin in Pickett County, Tennessee, the son of William and Elizabeth (Riley) Hull. His father was a farmer and a lumber merchant. From a one-room schoolhouse in nearby Willow Grove, Hull went on to earn a law degree form Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee, in 1891. He practiced law and served as a Circuit Judge until elected to Congress in 1907. he served as a U.S. Representative until 1931, when he was elected U.S. Senator. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Hull Secretary of State. he is widely credited, while in that post, of fostering the Good Neighbor Policy with Latin America and with the development of the United Nations. He was forced by ill health to resign in 1944 before the final ratification of the United Nations charter, but he is known as "The Father of the United Nations," for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945.
