Well i was just randomly going through Wikipedia and i came upon an article on Ogier the Dane and came across a paragraph that I found odd:
"Like Frederick Barbarossa, King Arthur, and Theodore Roosevelt, in Danish legend Ogier becomes a king in the mountain..."
I of course heard of Frederick in Kyfhauser and Arthur in Avalon, but Roosevelt?
I continued on to this article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_in_the_mountain
which mentioned several more national heros who are said to return, and again TR is on the list.
I asked a friend of mine who is a United States History teacher and he never heard of it either.
Is this just an example of the problems of and open-encyclopedia? Is there a story I never heard of? Or is the "In the Mountian" about Mount Rushmore, but then if it is why aren't the other three "kings" of the mountian?
