In his recent reading, J. H. Woodard found a book describing who the first charter for a steamboat navigation company was awarded to, which included Nicholas J. Roosevelt. Woodard suspects that this is President Roosevelt’s grandfather, and offers to send him the book if it is of interest to Roosevelt. He recently spent time at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, and asked a number of people about their opinion of Roosevelt, and reports that almost universally the response was positive.
