Killed in combat on July 14, 1918, Quentin Roosevelt was a man who had been known and beloved by almost the entire nation. The death of the only son of a US president to die in combat deserves to be remembered.
The “Murder at the Regatta” was a story of jealousy, passion, and some say even madness that shocked and fascinated the nation, and changed the very nature of how murder was seen and prosecuted in the United States.
