Curtis Bean Dall Part of the below was copied from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Curtis Bean Dall (24 October 1896 - 28 June 1991) was a stockbroker, vice-Presidential candidate, American author, and the first husband of Anna E. Roosevelt. ==Biography== Dall was born in Manhattan (New York City), the son of Charles Austen Dall and his wife Mary Bean, and grew up on a farm in Piscataway, [[New Jersey]]. He attended Princeton University[1], and served in the Navy during World War I. He became a stockbroker and was on the floor on Black Tuesday, the day of the 1929 Stock Market crash. He was elected Governor of the Associates of Stock Exchange Firm in 1932. He served in the army Air Force from 1940 until the close of World War II. Anna's father was the 32nd U.S. president [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], her mother the first lady [[Eleanor Roosevelt]]. After briefly attending Cornell University, she was married for the first time, in Hyde Park, [[New York]], on 25 June 1926 to stockbroker Curtis Bean Dall. They had two children: Anna Eleanor Roosevelt on 25 March 1927, and Curtis Roosevelt on 19 April 1930. "Mrs. Dall was divorced from her first husband, Curtis B. Dall, July 30, at Minden, [[Nevada|Nev]]." (Syracuse Herald, Jan 18, 1935, p 11) Six months after her divorce, on January 18, 1935, she married journalist John Boettiger. After his death on 31 October 1950, she married (3) 11 November 1952 at Malibu, [[California]], as his second wife, James Addison Halsted. In the 1960s Curtis, an ardent conservative, was a member of the Christian Crusade National Advisory Board, and a member of the Executive Board of "We The People". Curtis is most cited today for his book ''[[F.D.R. My Exploited Father-In-Law]]'', in which he speaks of his ex-father-in-law, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Franklin's relationship with, as Curtis saw them, the corrupt power of the banking elite of the time. In reference to the Great Depression of the 1930s he states: "Actually it was the calculated ‘shearing’ of the public by the World Money-Powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of the supply of call money in the New York money market." Dall became involved with the "...racist Right's ill-fated efforts at forming a third party..."[2]. In 1960 the Texas-based Constitution Party put-up retired Marine Corps Brigadier General Merritt B. Curtis for president, and campaign manager Curtis B. Dall for vice-president. In 1968, his name was filed for the Presidential primaries in New Hampshire. In 1971, he was Chairman of the Liberty Lobby[3] He died in Beaufort, [[South Carolina]] in 1991, aged 94. ==Works== *Dall, Curtis B. (1983, reprint of 1970 rev. ed.). My Exploited Father-in-Law.
