Charles Pratt believes that the photograph of President Roosevelt’s parents in the Atlanta Journal does not depict Roosevelt’s mother the way he remembers her. He consulted with others who also knew Martha Bulloch Roosevelt and they agree. Pratt encloses photographs of locations important to the Bulloch family. He tells the story of when he and Roosevelt’s uncle, Irvine S. Bulloch, painted a Confederate flag on the old academy.
