When Roosevelt Visited Butte A 1903 Letter Recalled
The piece recalls Theodore Roosevelt's May 27 1903 visit to Butte as described in a letter to John Hay written in a playful mood. It notes the banquet atmosphere amid Heinze faction battles and Roosevelt’s satirical nickname laden portrayal of Butte’s prominent men. It also surveys postwar disarmament talk and wartime chemist advances from France and other nations.
