During my History of the American West class, my professor neglected to inform me of how handsome the first African-American graduate of West Point Henry Ossian Flipper was. He later became Lieutenant of the famous ‘Buffalo Soldiers’, the first non-white officer to do so.

Robert Graves, c. 1914, age 19. Reported dead at the Somme, Graves was one of the few of his generation to survive the war. He became a translator, poet, and novelist, and was the author of I, Claudius. Graves died at the age of 90 in 1985, a model Daguerreotype boyfriend if there ever was one.

Stephen Decatur, Commodore of the U.S. Navy during the early 19th century. Killed in a duel at age 41 to preserve his hotness for centuries to come (okay, it was over comments made towards another officer, but still…)

Antonio Jose de Sucre- Simon Bolivar’s close pal and successor. Dear Bolivia/Peru, your 2nd/6th president was a stone cold fox.

Belgian soldier during WWI, taken in 1916. I love the dreamy, faraway look in his eyes. Spiffy overcoat, too.
