Compare and contrast this version by George Evans and Gray Morrow with the previous FDR tale by John Buscema.
Note what facts both stories present, and which ones each version omits.

Yet another never-reprinted chapter from Dell's Life Stories of American Presidents (1957), wonderfully-illustrated by the man who did the whole 100-page book, John Buscema!
