"General Funston and Lt. Colonel Roosevelt: The Military Exploits of W.A. White’s Friends"

The Medal of Honor recipient and the future U.S. president both served in the Spanish-American War distinguishing themselves. Both became good, life-long (though short) friends with William Allen White - Funston from the University of Kansas days, and Roosevelt as his political star was on the rise. Military Historian Chris Lovett profiles the daring exploits of these two men at war. Sundays at the Site is a program series presented at Red Rocks, home of William Allen White.
