This research appeared in the History of Childhood Quarterly (vol. 2, no. 3, now the Journal of Psychohistory) edited by the internationally renowned psychohistorian Lloyd deMause. DeMause's journal was vehemently criticized by Professor Clifford S. Griffin in "Oedipus Hex," an unsubstantive critique published in Reviews in American History (vol. 4, no. 3). However, the value of Kedro's investigation using psychobiography to identify shared motivations was affirmed by Professor Cushing Strout in "The Uses and Abuses of Psychology in American History," American Quarterly (vol. 28, no. 3). See the Journal of Psychohistory for deMause's theories. This study is referenced and held among scholarly journal articles and documents in the Theodore Roosevelt Collection, Harvard College Library. For inspiring interest in the Progressive era and psychohistory, Kedro is indebted to two insightful historians and exemplary teachers, the late Professor Richard W. Resh of the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the late Professor John C. Livingston of the University of Denver.
