Talk:Edward Howland Robinson Green

message: I'm going to purchase Bedell's book, and I already have a fair amount of detail on his association with MIT (see Round Hill, Massachusetts). I'll be updating this page with more detail on his life as time permits. -Harmil 12:56, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

:I am the author of "Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green, and the World He Created at ROUND HILL".  THERE are several errors in the report that I would like to correct. I was not able to find evidence that he graduated from Fordham.  Next, Hetty sent him to Terrell to purchase at auction, the Texas Midland RR, which he did , lengthened it, and turned it into the finest short line railroad in Texas, a model for the entire United States.  His wards were daughters of friends who had passed away.  He paid their expenses and tuition, and were insulted when accused of having any sexual connection to the Colonel.  100 rooms in the mansion???  I lived at Round Hill and visited friends who lived in the mansion.  There was not 100 rooms, though the Jesuits added many when they took over.  Mabel married the Colonel and stuck with him for life.  She moved in with him when he lived in Terrell. Nowadays that is not a big deal, is it!       For more accurate information read my book.

replies: text: I have no problem taking out the Fordham graduation or the 100 room count. However, I'm a bit skeptical about the "wards". This Orlando Sentinel article notes he "openly kept his own harem in his house". Clarityfiend (talk) 01:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Almost all the information cited to the Time magazine article did not appear in that article at all. I will try to find the editor who inserted it and ask him about the discrepancy. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 20:35, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
