[edit] 1886 Beats the future President for Mayor of New York City

Could someone figure out how to intergrate this?

http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/mayor.htm 

Theodore Roosevelt ran for the office of Mayor of New York City in 1886, when he was 28 years old. [...]

He was running against Democrat Abram S. Hewett (son-in-law

of Peter Cooper, who had built Cooper Union in NYC) and Henry George,

economist and reformer, who had moved to NYC three years before.

When he lost the election, TR's comment was, "Well anyway, I had a bully time."

[edit] Shipwrecked with my student, my future brother-in-law, and future NYC mayor

http://www.ringwoodmanor.com/peo/ch/abram/ah.htm

Upon graduation from Columbia in 1842, he began the study of law while 
also teaching mathematics at Columbia’s grammar school. At this time he
tutored Edward Cooper, the son of inventor and manufacturer Peter Cooper.
In 1843-1844 Hewitt traveled to Europe with Edward Cooper,
and the two were shipwrecked on their return voyage. 
This harrowing adventure strengthened their friendship, 
and henceforth Hewitt was regarded as virtually a member of the Cooper family.

[edit] Fireboat pictures

There are some great external links to a picture of the fireboat by the Brooklyn Bridge and modern pictures of the sinking hulk off Staten Island.

Perhaps someone could figure the best way to link these into Legacy or another section?
