Archibald Bulloch "Archie" Roosevelt (April 10, 1894 – October 13, 1979), the fifth child of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, was a distinguished U.S. Army officer and commander of U.S. forces in both World War I and II. In both conflicts he was wounded. He earned the Silver Star with three oak leaf clusters, Purple Heart with oak leaf cluster and the French Croix de guerre. After World War II, he became a successful businessman and the founder of a New York City bond brokerage house, as well as a spokesman for conservative political causes.〔On right wing politics, see citations below related to the section "Right Wing Firebrand".〕 ==Early life== Archie was born in Washington, D.C., the fourth child of president Theodore "T.R." Roosevelt, Jr. and Edith Kermit Carow. He had three brothers, Ted (Theodore III), Kermit, and Quentin, a sister named Ethel, and a half-sister named Alice. Archie was named for his maternal great-great-great grandfather, Archibald Bulloch, a patriot of the American Revolution. As a child, Archie was very quiet but very mischievous - especially when he was with his brother Quentin; growing up Archie and Quentin were very close. They rarely left each other's side and had very few fights. But as for the other siblings, Archie was not close to either Kermit and Ethel because they would gang up on him. Ted would help beat up Kermit for him, and would also tell their mother, Edith, about Ethel - who would often get in trouble. While Alice was ten years older than Archie, he barely remembered her around, since she would go places with other family members and friends. As for his smartness, Archie was an avid reader and very smart at putting puzzles together quickly. His father remarked to him by saying “Archie, my smart boy, never give up your smartness; that goes for you and your brother Quentin”. After being expelled from Groton Archie continued his education at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., the Evans School for Boys,〔Theodore Roosevelt (1916) A Book-Lover’s Holidays in the Open. New York: Charles Scribner’s sons.〕 and Harvard University, where he graduated in 1917. Archie married Grace Lockwood, daughter of Thomas Lockwood and Emmeline Stackpole, at the Emmanuel Church in Boston, Massachusetts on April 14, 1917. The couple spent most of their married life in a pre-Revolutionary house on Turkey Lane in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, not far from Oyster Bay, where they had four children: * Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt, Jr. (1918–1990) * Theodora Roosevelt (1919–2008) * Nancy Dabney Roosevelt (1923–2010) * Edith Kermit Roosevelt (1926–2003) married 1948-1952 to Alexander Gregory Barmine; parents of Margot Roosevelt 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Archibald Roosevelt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
