Does anyone have any potential speakers to suggest re Theodore Roosevelt and Sagarmore Hill, in Oyster Bay. I have contacted NPS interpretive staff there, but am looking for historian resources outside the NPS as well. This is a third party request for the NYS Bar Association, which is seeking a speaker re Roosevelt/Sagamore Hill for a late September meeting, in NYC I believe.
