Talk:Edward Howland Robinson Green

Untitled
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)

The following was posted at New contributors' help page/questions:
 * 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.

 * 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)

Time magazine citation
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)

 * I don't have a subscription, so I can't see the full article anymore, though it was accessible back then. Do you? Or are you going by the brief summary? In any case, I will add alternate sources wherever possible. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:16, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for handling it. Yes, I had checked the article. Easy enough to do with a subscription. Yours sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 16:01, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

American expatriate
Green was born to American nationals living in the United Kingdom, and so was thus an American national abroad.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
