Roosevelt's Insult to the Memory of Jackson and Lafayette

Excerpt from Roosevelt's Insult to the Memory of Jackson and Lafayette

Like mckinley, my father was born in Steubenville, Ohio. He was appointed a cadet at West Point as a compliment to his mother's father, captain in a Pennsylvania regiment in the Re volution tho' born in North Carolina. North Dakota named her capital city Bismarck for one of the worst enemies of this Republic. I have tried to get its people to change its name to Steuben. It would be a merited honor to him and due contempt to Bismarck, the grossly over-rated humbug. Let the Deutsche Verein of Washington City get all the German societies in the Union to petition North Dakota for this change.
