Tweed Roosevelt, whose ancestor’s name graces Capt. Crozier’s ex-ship, wrote in The New York Times that Crozier “is a hero.” He reports that his great-Grandfather did the same thing during the Spanish-American War in 1898. At that time, he wrote a letter to Washington officials urging that soldiers return home because of the threats of yellow fever and malaria.
He declares that his great-grandfather would agree with Capt. Crozier’s actions.
