  • When she was 26, she married James Roosevelt I (a 52-year-old widow)

  • Her stepson James Roosevelt Roosevelt was just a year younger than her

  • Mother of Franklin D. Roosevelt

  • A bit of a smother, perhaps?

  • Aghast that Eleanor and FDR served King George VI and Queen Elizabeth hotdogs during their visit

Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
