Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis E. Warren

President Roosevelt tells Francis E. Warren, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, that he does not believe there is need for a court of inquiry regarding the stationing of Colonel William F. Stewart at Fort Grant. It is within Roosevelt’s authority to do so, and he points out that any punishment in such a posting is incidental to the goal of keeping the best and most efficient officers in command. Stewart has not proven himself fit to command troops.

Letter from Charles Stewart To Lincoln Steffens

In writing, but not for publication, Charles Stewart presents the facts of his brother Colonel William F. Stewart, to journalist Lincoln Steffens. On October 2, 1907, Colonel Stewart received orders to relinquish his command at Fort Barrancas, Florida. Now he is stationed without command at the ungarrisoned Fort Grant, Arizona. Stewart regards his brother’s situation as forced exile, an unfitting position considering he has not been criminally convicted.
