Letter from Albert Oliver to Theodore Roosevelt
Albert Oliver details the background of William Henry Jackson and his fake French and Native American identity as Honore Jaxon. Oliver counters President Roosevelt’s friendly references to labor unions in the public letter he addressed to Jackson. He describes his experience working with labor unions and labels them as “a dangerous pack of scoundrels, thieves, and cut-throats.” Oliver asserts that no labor men would volunteer for military service if a call to serve the country were made.
