Letter from Russell B. Harrison to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Russell B. Harrison to Theodore Roosevelt

A movement in the Indiana state legislature is attempting to pass a resolution requesting President Roosevelt to rename Fort Benjamin Harrison. This is an anti-Roosevelt movement because changing the name could alienate the former supporters of President Harrison. Russell B Harrison, the late President’s son, promises to fight against the resolution, so Roosevelt will not have to decide whether or not to rename the fort.
