Cal Coolidge Tale and World War I Links
A former Buffalo friend recalls Cal Coolidge’s taciturnity at the sport of openings and the Peace Bridge ceremony. The piece recounts Gen Newton E Turgeon’s push to bring Coolidge to Buffalo and contrasts it with a later account of Colonel House in Wilson’s orbit during the postwar peace talks. It notes the cooling of Wilson and House relations and adds brief vignettes on male culture, friendly urban rural charm, and a citrus trade snippet with Brazil seeking 800000 cases of oranges in exchange for apples.
