Know scott does, too, with the letters and diaries in private journals so when i found these letters, i realized they had become friends in the early 30s. An odd couple. Teddy marched around everywhere during wrestling and boxing. Weighing between 250 350. Not doing much wrestling or boxing at that time but they liked each other. Opposites almost attractive. So he brings him into his cabinet and becomes the most important person in his cabinet. They want him to run against taft in a Brutal Campaign and because there are two republicans running so then he runs on the bull moose thirdparty Campaign Opening the door for the democratic win so the heartbreak was much greater because of friendship was stronger i love writing about these emotional things it was more than a straight linear story. Woodrow wilson came into the picture and then went back to progressivism. Wilson went back to progressivism big time taking the foundation that was there and built upon it. And what wilson wanted to d

Tell her story. Kathleen dealt, the author of Theodore Roosevelt, a strenuous life. And he is the officers of Edith Roosevelt. The 1900 election, resident it president make cleaning and brought and the roosevelt family as Vice President , but does not last very long because an assassin has other things in mind for president mckenzie. So tell the story of the transition, please, that brings the roosevelt in that very momentous occasion and the white house. Its dramatic because data roosevelt is climbing a mountain many heres the news that mckinley was shot, he rushes down the mountain and comes to buffalo, it looks like mckinley is going to survive, but then blood poisoning sets in and comes to washington. It takes over a nation and its a national tragedy, it really has to come to the presidency because of an assassination, but he really shores america and he turns out to be a very successful president.

A friend of mine, the distinguished historian of the election of 1896, Hall Williams and i, would work at library in the library of congress until 5 00 in the afternoon when they closed, have a bite to eat and we could come over to National Archives, which was open until 8 00.
