The Last Isolationist George H. Tinkham Dies at 83
George H. Tinkham retired from the House in 1943 after fourteen terms from Massachusetts. He died at age 83 as the last bearded member of Congress and the era’s staunch isolationist. A foe of personal liberty restrictions, he opposed foreign entanglements yet once fired the Austrian front in World War I. A prophetic 1856 speech by Perry on Japan’s opening foreshadowed future U S Russian and Southeast Asia conflicts.
