The Attempted Assassination of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
by Oliver E. Remey, Wheeler P. Bloodgood, Henry F. (Henry Frederick) Cochems
About the author
Oliver E. Remey is credited as a co-author of The Attempted Assassination of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, a 1912 narrative about the attack on Roosevelt during the presidential campaign. Library of Congress and Project Gutenberg records confirm the book and list Remey alongside Henry F. Cochems and Wheeler P. Bloodgood.
Contemporary material linked by the Theodore Roosevelt Center identifies him as the city editor of the Milwaukee Free Press, which helps explain his close connection to the events described in the book. That journalistic background gives his writing a direct, reportorial feel.
Not much biographical information about Remey appears to be readily available in major public sources today. What can be said with confidence is that he was a Milwaukee newspaperman whose name remains attached to one of the firsthand book-length accounts of a remarkable episode in Theodore Roosevelt's life.
