Francis E. Warren's Legacy

Still from Wikipedia.

**  F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming,  is named after him.

**  His daughter, Helen Frances Warren, married Army Captain John J. Pershing in 1905.  he went on to achieve fame in World War I.

Several years later, President Theodore Roosevelt promoted him, with support from Francis Warren, from captain to brigadier general, despite many people in the Army having superiority over him.  The marriage definitely helped.

Sadly, Helen and three daughters were killed in a fire at the Presidio in San Francisco.

**  Warren was the first senator to hire a female staffer.

**  He and his wife Clara Barron  Morgan, bought the Nagle Warren Mansion in 1910 and it hosted many dignitaries including Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft.
