Oliver E. Remey

Oliver E. Remey is a little-known early 20th-century writer remembered mainly for The Attempted Assassination of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt (1912), a contemporary account of the attack on Roosevelt during the presidential campaign in Milwaukee. Library of Congress records list him as one of the book's authors, and the text itself identifies him as city editor of the Milwaukee Free Press.

That background helps explain the book's immediacy. Remey was writing not as a distant historian, but as a newspaper editor closely following events in the city where the shooting happened. The result is a work that blends reporting, political context, and eyewitness-era urgency.

Surviving public information about his life appears to be limited. Archival references from Milwaukee County Historical Society and the Theodore Roosevelt Center show that he was active in Milwaukee public life and connected enough to Roosevelt's circle to appear in historical records, but many personal details remain hard to confirm.
