Diplomat business man amusement-manager
William Insco Buchanan was descended from a Scotch family which had been settled in Virginia since the second half of the eighteenth century. His grandfather, Colonel George Buchanan, in 1806 moved to Miami County, Ohio, where, near the town of Covington, William Insco Buchanan was born, the son of George Preston and Mary Elizabeth (Gibson) Buchanan.
Left an orphan before William was nine years old, William received his only schooling from the country schools. Before he was thirty he had learned the trade of edge-tool making, had nibbled at politics (he was engrossing clerk of the Indiana legislature, 1874-75), and had been for half a dozen years a commercial traveler.
In 1882 William Buchanan settled in Sioux City, Iowa, and there, after a venture in wholesale trade as a jobber of crockery, he opened a theatre. In this enterprise, and in promoting the four "corn-palaces" of that city (1887 - 90), of which he was the moving spirit--serving as manager of the last and most elaborate--he revealed rare talents as an amusement-manager and executive, which led to his appointment as the Democratic member of the Iowa commission to the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.
In this he was chief of the department of agriculture (1890 - 93) and organizer of the departments of live stock and forestry (1891), and was remarkably successful. In these varied callings he found opportunity to exercise the social sense and judgment of men that were essential factors in his achievements in the diplomatic service which filled the rest of his life.
Buchanan's diplomatic career began with his appointment by President Cleveland in 1894 as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the Argentine Republic.
One evidence of his felicitous discharge of his duties in this post, which he held for six years, was his designation by Chile and Argentina as umpire of a commission appointed by those countries to settle their extreme northern boundary line in the desert of Atacama. After an interim of one year's service as director-general of the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo in 1901, Buchanan represented his country, successively, as one of the delegates to the Second International Conference of American States (at Mexico City, October 1901); as its first envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary accredited, first on special mission (December 12, 1903) and then on regular appointment, to Panama (December 17, 1903 - 05); as chairman of its delegation to the Third International Conference of American States (at Rio de Janeiro, July 1906); as one of its commissioners to the second Peace Conference at The Hague (June-October, 1907); as its representative in attendance upon the Central American Peace Conference held in Washington in 1907 (November-December); as high commissioner at the installation of the Central American Court of Justice at Cartago, Costa Rica (May 25, 1908); as high commissioner charged with the renewal of diplomatic relations with Venezuela (December 21, 1908 - 09) after the overthrow of President Cipriano Castro; and as agent of the United States in the prospective arbitration before the international court of arbitration at The Hague of the only claim against Venezuela that he had failed to settle diplomatically. He was also a member of a Pan-American committee appointed by Secretary of State Elihu Root in 1907 to stimulate Pan-American comity, and was appointed chairman (February 21, 1908) of another Pan-American committee charged with the preparation of the Fourth International Conference of American States. His discharge of his diplomatic duties was unvaryingly felicitous, as the mere list of his appointments indicates.
About 1902 he also joined the Westinghouse interests, serving from 1903 to 1905 as managing director of the British Westinghouse Company and an officer of the French Westinghouse Company, and through life continuing otherwise to serve the parent American company. In these very important business duties his success was as uniform as in his governmental service.
William Insco Buchanan served as United States Minister to Argentina from 1894 to 1899 and United States Minister to Panama from 1903 to 1904. He gained tariff concessions for United States commodities, settled old claims, consummated long-pending negotiations. Particularly notable were his services at the Central American Peace Conference and in settlement of our distempered relations with Venezuela. Upon his retirement from the Argentine post Buchanan became the representative of the New York Life Insurance Company in the adjustment of differences arising between it and foreign governments, particularly those of South America, and remained in the Company's service until his death.

He was extremely well informed on Latin-American affairs, and seemed to possess an intuitive understanding of Latin-Americans.
Quotes from others about the person
In both he showed a broad and liberal spirit, "basing his claims upon justice and pressing them with courtesy and with proper regard for the rights and customs of the people with whom he dealt" (resolutions of the New York Life Insurance Company, October 20, 1909); and in both fields his country reaped the legitimate fruits of a sound diplomacy, an increase of commercial intercourse and a better international understanding.
He was married on April 16, 1878, to Lulu Williams of Dayton, Ohio.
