from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Curtis Bean Dall (born October 24, 1896 in New York City , † June 28, 1991 in Beaufort , South Carolina ) was an American stockbroker , vice-presidential candidate, author and son-in-law of Franklin D. Roosevelt .

Life

Curtis Dall was the son of Charles and Mary Dall and grew up on a farm in Piscataway ( New Jersey on). He attended Princeton University , became a stock trader, and was on the floor on Black Tuesday , the start of the Great Depression in 1929. In 1926 he married Anna E. Roosevelt and became the son-in-law of the future 32nd US President . The marriage, from which the children Anna Eleanor Roosevelt and Curtis Roosevelt emerged, was divorced on January 18, 1935.

Dall wrote a book published in 1967 about his father-in-law and his connection to, as he saw it, the reprehensible power of the banking elites of his day, of which he is the actors. Regarding the Great Depression , he wrote: "In fact, it was the calculated ' shearing ' of the public by the financial powers, and was the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money raised on the New York money market."

In 1960, Dall served as the campaign manager of Merritt B. Curtis , the presidential candidate of the Conservative Constitution Party ; in Texas he was also set up as its running mate for the vice presidency. In 1968 he was a candidate for the presidential primaries in New Hampshire and in 1971 chairman of the Liberty Lobby , a right-wing political organization that was dissolved in 2001.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in NARA bequeathed his daughter his correspondence with Anna E. Roosevelt.
