Hi Folks! My name is Patrick Healy. I am 42 years old and work as an engineer in a refinery. I am also an aspiring unpublished writer - - which brings me...
OK, here goes. TR came back from Europe in 1910, where he met with Kaiser Wilhelm and reviewed the troops with him. At that time, he cautioned that war was...
His letters and personal papers are remarkably visionary and as I said before, I think because of his overblown macho image -- much of it by his own design --...
Patrick, You aren't the first person to make these observations/speculations but possibly the first to begin a novel considering the "what ifs". You are...
He was incredibly visionary socially, politically, financially -- he doubled his inheritance in twelve years -- and militarily. One of his less well known...
I read this sometime ago in an article from the naval institute. It also was mentioned in a film about aircraft carriers called "Wings Over Water". I am not...
Consider what a difference even one such vessel, no bigger than the original CV-1, USS Langley, might have made at the Battle of Jutland! Even if she had been...
I know he did express interest in the use of aircraft as a military option. I'll have to look up the exact reference. But I don't know of any specific...
Linda, I am aware of the letter he wrote in 1897 about Professor Langley's experiments, but I did not come across anything remarkable with regard to him and...
See United Technologies documentary "Wings Over Water". It is not only an excellent exposition on the evolution of the naval air arm, but of the US Navy over...
Hi, Jerry! That was the letter to which I was referring... Best. Linda ... From: Henry Hendrix To: tr-m@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 7:40 AM ...
It is well-known that Alice and Nicholas Longworth had s severe falling out over the Election of 1912 from which their marriage never recovered. Even prior to...
I don't know that only women would have an opinion on this, unless you are addressing this to some specific ladies. Also for me I don't see how the two are...
Alice had already approached TR about divorcing Nick Longworth and he put a stop to it. I think he would have been particularly adverse to it if he had...
My complete apologies....I was just trying to keep matters light. ... you are ... how ... falling ... recovered. ... largely ... suited. ... follow, we just ...
Your points are well-taken and I am endeavoring to address them. While I do not necessarily agree with your conclusion, this is exactly the sort of help I am...
Hi Patrick, I can't help you on the military issues but,I don't believe TR ever actually took a degree from Columbia although he had attended for some period. ...
He did that in his first term.....What about Constantinople? ... actually took a degree from Columbia although he had attended for some period. ... Morocco!! ...
Hello everyone! Longtime lurker first post. I usually just try to absorb the overwhelming amount of knowledge in the group. I had a question about something...
I vaguely remember John Gable, TR scholar extraordinaire, talking about this. And the wording is SO TR... Sorry, that's the most specific I can be. Best, ...
William, Yes, I remember reading that in one of my Theodore Roosevelt books, but of course can't put my finger on exactly where I read it just now. I don't...
First Term was when he was involved in the Morrocco Crisis you mentioned. My what-if focuses on Gallipoli and Constantinople -- as far as the Middle East...
The Roosevelts are related to Edith Wharton through Nicholas Guy Roosevelt 1883-1965. He was the son of Nicholas Latrobe Roosevelt (and brother of Henry...
Thank you - I'll enter the info into my Roosevelt genealogy database - I've got over 17,000 people in there already - problem is the file is so large, it's...
