Abstract
Other than Theodore and Franklin, no other Roosevelt had as great an impact on world history as Eleanor. In her short, but informative interview with the Hagedorns she talks about her childhood, her relationship with the Cowles, Alsops, and other Oyster Bay relatives. Her fondest memories are reserved for Anna Roosevelt Cowles who, after her father Elliott died, took young Eleanor in to her household. Sadly, the recording of the interview did not survive. Still, the transcript offers a vivid description of the extended Roosevelt family.
