Pleasant A. Stovall

Pleasant Alexander Stovall (1857–1935) was the United States ambassador to Switzerland from 1913 until late 1919 or early 1920.

The United States Senate later put so many restrictions and conditions on US entry into the World Court that the other nations participating in it refused to allow the United States to join.

Stovall grew up in Augusta, Georgia and was a boyhood friend of Woodrow Wilson,[1] who would later, as president, appoint him as an ambassador.

When Stovall was sixteen his family moved to Athens, Georgia.

Stovall wrote a biography of Robert Toombs in the 1890s and a book on Switzerland largely drawing on his experience as US ambassador there that was published posthumously in 1939.
