I need to find 2 pictures of Franklin D Roosevelt in a wheelchair and they must be him; not a statue of him. Please help. I've looked everywhere. I've been told there are only 2 pictures of him in a wheel chair so I want to find the 2nd one. Thanks in advance.

A sculpture of President Franklin D. Roosevelt seated in a wheelchair, interacting with a disabled child, is planned for Roosevelt Island in New ...
Only in private he used a wheelchair so there are just a few photographs of him in a wheelchair. Which I think is interesting. He never wanted anyone to think of him as a cripple. He never felt pity for his situation. That's probably one of the many reasons that he was one of the most beloved presidents of all time.

since we was in a wheelchair.
As was already answered, he had polio. But he wasn't necessarily confined to a wheelchair. He would wear braces on his legs for early public appearances and staffers would hold him up.

Unlike today's Democrats, Roosevelt and Truman did not put up with any crap. Roosevelt's policies brought America out of the Great Depression and he led one of the most powerful militaries in the world from a wheelchair. If people whined about the war, he threw them in jail and therefore, everyone united and our enemies saw this and Rosevelt was smart enough to realize the danger of having our enemies see anti-war communists making division in the country, unlike Nixon or Johnson during Vietnam. Truman was the last great Democrat the United States of America will ever have. If anyone attacked the US, they knew Harry Truman would strike back with an atomic bomb and blow their country into a parking lot. Many say Kennedy was great, but Kennedy was a joke who won the presidency based on his looks and his father's mafia support, not because of his intelligence or leadership skills (or lack thereof). Clinton was having sex with his interns instead of hunting down Osama.
Some of the answers to this question are amusing. A few things seem to have escaped people's notice:
1) Imprisoning citizens for speaking out against a war is wrong, unconstitutional, reckless, and completely against the spirit of our nation. Did I wander into a parallel universe where America mimics Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia?
2) Truman and Roosevelt were both to the left of the democrats today on economic policy. They were more right wing on foreign policy and social issues but on economics they were almost socialists. They supported tax rates that were much higher than taxes today. Anyone who claims that the democrats became socialist after Truman and Roosevelt has no clue what they are talking about.
He didn't look bad, just overweight. I've heard recordings; he sounded rather odd. He seemed to have a high male voice, but that might have been the recording equipment. He took office and swept out the trash! But I wonder how well he would stand today's races? Would people discount him because he was fat? Because he had a funny voice? Or his distant cousin, Franklin: would he be elected today if people knew he was in a (gasp!) wheelchair?
I'm not sure he could stand up to today's scrutiny. I've had history teachers claim he was pretty much a fraud, and a lot of the stories about him were made up BS.

hiraimsminute: The Resolute Desk
Originally a Tyne built vessel named Ptarmigan, Resolute was purchased by the British Government in February 1850 and commissioned into the Royal Navy originally as HMS Refuge, but was renamed HMS Resolute a month later. The ship was fitted for Arctic service by Green's of Blackwall (Thames), with especially strong timbers and an internal heating system. Two years later, the empty ship was found by the American whaler George Henry, captained by James Buddington of Groton, Connecticut. She was then stuck in the ice of Davis Strait off Baffin Island, 1200 miles away from where she had been abandoned. The Americans freed Resolute from the ice and took her to New London, Connecticut. The United States...
