Rexford G. Tugwell was the administrator of the USA's Resettlement Administration (RA) which was established during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal," from 1934-1937. Tugwell resigned in 1937 amidst accusations that the RA's agenda was socialist. He was an agricultural economist and statesman, eventually acting as the last non-Puerto Rican governor of Puerto Rico, from 1941-1946, and was instrumental in getting a Puerto Rican appointed as governor.

Tugwell wrote biographies of Presidents Grover Cleveland and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He died in 1979 at age 87.
