Description
I found this chair in an old barn at the Fisk Farm in Isle LaMotte, Vermont.
Could this chair have a history?
Theodore Roosevelt was staying at the Fisk Farm when he got news that President McKinley was assassinated on September 1901.
Was Mr. Roosevelt sitting in this chair when he first got the news? Maybe�just saying�who knows?
Was he sitting in this chair in his room when he was pondering the future of the country? Maybe�just saying�who knows?
Why does the chair have one short leg? Could it be that Mr. Roosevelt was a Rough Rider and that was well..rough. Perhaps he had a bad back and he had the chair leg shortened for his comfort. Maybe. Just saying. Who knows?
I could ask the owner of the Fisk Farm, but what fun would that be?
