Teddy Roosevelt's Legacy

[OpanaPointer]

Many people say that TR was racist and believed that whites were the superior race.

Dear dj1,
Why did he have Booker T. Washington to the White House for dinner then?

He also greatly admired the Native Americans. He had vacqueros in his expeditions on many occasions. "Many people" don't know much about TR.

Dear OP,
He's on Mount Rushmore for a reason.

Have you ever seen "Rough Riders"? It's a TBS mini-series, followed up "Gettysburg". Rather fun, but the use of original dialog makes it sound strange to the modern ear.

Dear OP,
I have Rough Riders on VHS; need to upgrade. But, it is a great film; way better than Gods and Generals or the mistake called Ironclads. I love how Dale Dye reacts to the idea of the new "tropical" uniforms versus the Service Blues. Also, the Colt Potato Digger presentation scene is a favorite.

I chortled over "Ironclads". I was teaching assistant for an ACW class at Purdue one year, and I was assigned all the naval material by the prof, a dedicated landlubber.

Dear OP,
Did you see the Civil War Magazine cover for the review of Ironclads? Two photos: One of the leading lady and leading man kissing and the other of the ships in action. The caption was "Too much of this, Not enough of this" under the respective photos.

Missed that. Any good simulations of the actions at the Roads that you know of?

[LWD]

If you are talking game type simualtions there was a boardgame called Ironclads that was quite good and could be used to model most real and many hypothetical actions.

I was hoping for something more "virtual".

There may have been a computer version of it. There was of Wooden Ships and Iron Men. There's also a naval sim that's primarily WWI. Don't know if it has ships that go back that far or not.

One of these days. Probably long after I'm gone, of course.

Dear OP,
I guess that means you found a good game.

Meh, she says that a lot.
