The Bullock brothers served along with KGC Pickwick Club member John Slidell in England as part of Benjamin's CSA Special and Secret Bureau as foreign agents procuring deals for ships, munitions, and supplies for the Confederacy.Teddy's mother's brothers were part of CSA Sec of State Judah P Benjamin's foreign service in England, a second cousin once removed was a CSA Brig Gen Robert Bullock from Ocala...
The Bullock brothers served along with KGC Pickwick Club member John Slidell in England as part of Benjamin's CSA Special and Secret Bureau as foreign agents procuring deals for ships, munitions, and supplies for the Confederacy.
After the surrender, the Bullock brothers never returned to America.
During their flight from the Union, Benjamin, CSA Sec of War Breckinridge, and CSA Capt John Taylor Wood of CSS TALLAHASSEE Raider and CSA President Davis nephew staged their final escape plans in Ocala, Florida- Benjamin at his cousins house, and Breckinridge and Wood at the home of CSA Brig Gen Robert Bullock.
On his way to Tampa with the Rough Riders before shipping out to Cuba, Teddy visited his mother's Bullock cousin, and the Rough Riders paraded down Main Street in front of the Ocala House Hotel and Marion county courthouse.
As a lad, Teddy's Confederate Georgia mother related stories of Confederate cavalry charges and gallantry, and his Rough Rider uniform bore a resemblance to that of CSA Jeb Stuart, as with sabre raised, led the charge up San Juan Hill.

A real-life look at the mind of a White supremacist in the Whitehouse.

After the War, James Dunwoody Bullock and brother, Irvine, set up a very successful cotton import brokerage in Liverpool, not to different from the cotton deals for British ships, munitions, and supplies as he performed fot the Confederacy as part of CSA Sec of State Judah P Benjamin's CSA Foreign Service.Have you ever heard about any connection between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Algernon_Parsons and the Bullocks that stayed overseas after the Civil War? Just curious...

Some historians have claimed that during the summer of 1864, he traveled to America, and along with George Nicholas Saunders, a former US Ambassador to England, met with John Wilkes Booth at Boston's Parker House, a known meeting place of Northern "copperheads".
After the fall of Richmond, the Bullock brothers traveled in disguise and assumed names to Oyster Bay, Long Island, to say their farewells to their sister and young Teddy before returning to England.
In his will, James Dunwoody Bullock left his nephew, Teddy, $30,000.
George Nicholas Saunders was an agent of CSA Sec of State Judah P Benjamin's Foreign Service in Canada, and would dispensed funds to other agents with traveled to Canada, and organized the CSA raid into St Albans, Vermont.
After the Lincoln assassination, President Andrew Johnson placed a $20,000 reward on his head for capture.
Saunders remained in Canada and traveled to Europe and only returned to US shortly before his death.
Yes. Was the American Ambassador to England under President Polk.
George Nicholas Saunders was recalled from that position due to his radical beliefs that he shared freely while holding that Ambassadorship.
I ran across that name while studying the U.S. Navy and past Secretaries. A lot of people don't remember or never knew that Teddy was a Sec. of the Navy as well as Head of the Civil Service. It was during his civil service stent that he became acquainted with J. Sterling Morton Secretary of Agriculture and K.G.C. member. Though the books remain unaware when Paul Morton and Mr. Roosevelt first made acquaintance, I am positive it was about that same time when Teddy came to Arbor lodge on his way West. The cattle business was one of the Monopolies that Paul Morton and his railroad had a grip on (Although it was not just his money working). The steel, the rails, the trains, the refrigerated cars, and the beef they carried....etc. etc. Teddy would end up on Paul Morton's private train many times during his lifetime. I am also pretty sure that is how almost everyone got to Arbor Lodge that is in this picture.

LC... I was able to enlarge that group photo and clean it up some...I'm not 100% positive that's Theodore Roosevelt. Very Similar to him from a distance like the photo you've posted. I'll center in on him specifically and see in the next few days.
Getting the photo larger is what made it stand out, but using comparison photos of him is what really shows the differences. Several people looked at everything and pointed out differences that I hadn't noticed either at first glance of the original. We didn't compare any of his sons yet...Anyway, if you want to or care, see if you can enlarge and get it clearer or have someone do it and see what you think.
If you have any names that go with the photo or who signed the house log during that time period probably would give a good idea on who it is for sure by doing comp photos. I'd really like to know who all is in that photograph! lol! It's interesting for sure.

LC...Would you please name off those guys and their position in that picture? It's an interesting photo.
Thank You!

I would love to! Would you name them too? I have spent at least a year studying monopolists and litigation from 1903 trying to gain that Knowledge. It takes a lot of time to identify one of them at a time. There are some that I would really like to know, like the old guy setting in the rocker on the left end with a small crowd kind of standing around him. I know more about some people than I intended to learn, but it is a oneway street and there is no unreading it!
