Nicholas Roosevelt (1892-1982) was the son of Theodore Roosevelt’s first cousin and friend
James West Roosevelt. In 1912, as a young man, Nicholas accompanied his older cousin to the
1912 Republican Convention, and witnessed his controversial loss to William Howard Taft.
This led to a split in the party, with Roosevelt running under the Progressive Party banner in
that year’s general election, which was won by Woodrow Wilson. This lively narrative is
accompanied by a related Typed Letter Signed from Nicholas Roosevelt to Roosevelt biographer
William Roscoe Thayer, New York, 21 December [circa 1920?].
