Thanks for posting this.
I’ve never understood why so little has been written and reported about this man. I hate to say this, but the actual ‘charge’ up San Juan hill was pretty much a nothing - yet Roosevelt senior received unrelenting glory for it. Roosevelt Jr receives almost no mention, but in fact should be recognized as a great American hero. And he proved that on several occasions.
Are there any books written about him? I have never heard of him!!!
I had never heard of Teddy Roosevelt, Jr.
We were, indeed, fortunate to have a man on the beach with the authority and intelligence to shift the point of attack after the first wave drifted. If this decision had not been made, and the second wave landed at the previously designated spot, the whole attack in this sector might have failed.
On such things whole worlds turn. An amazing story.
