Joseph Bucklin Bishop
Joseph Bucklin Bishop (September 5, 1847 – December 13, 1928), was an American newspaper editor (1870–1905), Secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission in Washington, D.C. and Panama (1905–1914), and authorized biographer and close friend of President Theodore Roosevelt. Bishop was the author of 13 books and dozens of magazine articles, and he edited the 1920 best-seller, ''Theodore Roosevelt’s Letters to His Children.''
==Childhood, family and education==
Bishop was born September 5, 1847 in Seekonk, Massachusetts, today the village of Rumford in East Providence, Rhode Island.〔Bishop, Chip. "The Lion and the Journalist – The Remarkable Friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and Joseph Bucklin Bishop." p. 21〕 He was the sixth of seven children of James Madison Bishop (1812–1864), a farmer, and Elzada Balcom Bishop (1808–1892), a homemaker. His ancestors were early New England settlers, arriving in Salem, Massachusetts from England in 1639. Bridget Bishop, his great grandmother via marriage, was the first woman executed during the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s. Shortly after Bridget’s death on June 10, 1692, the family escaped to Rehoboth, Massachusetts where many later generations of Bishops lived and worked. Joseph’s great grandfather, Phanuel Bishop, a wealthy innkeeper in Rehoboth, led a company of Minutemen that marched on the alarm of the “shot heard ‘round the world” at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts. Phanuel Bishop was a member of the United States Congress from Massachusetts (1799–1807) and a delegate to the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention in Boston (1788).
Joseph grew up on his family farm, graduated from Pawtucket (R.I.) High School in 1866 and from Brown University, with a Bachelor of Arts degree, in 1870. An early ''Providence Journal'' profile recorded that he was “a genial, companionable fellow” but “did not rank high in his class (of 53)... as a matter of fact he was not a brilliant scholar.” He supported himself through college by working on the editorial staff of the ''Providence Morning Herald'', a short-lived Democratic voice in local politics.
Joseph married Harriet Louisa Hartwell (1848–1917) in the Newman Congregational Church in Rehoboth, December 14, 1872. Raised on a New Hampshire farm, Harriet was the fourth of five children of Samuel Estabrook Hartwell and Lucy King Hartwell. She was orphaned at age 11 and sent to live with relatives, John and Harriet Hartwell in Providence. Harriet’s great-great grandfather, Ephraim, owned a popular tavern in Concord, Massachusetts during the early days of the Revolution. Hartwell’s Tavern is now an historic landmark, situated along Concord’s Battle Road, and managed as a visitor attraction by the National Park Service.
