John Allen Gable (1943, Rockford - February 18, 2005, Glen Cove)[1][2] was an American historian who specialized in Theodore Roosevelt.
[2] Marcelle Fischer of the New York Times wrote in 2006 that Gable was "widely considered to be the country's, if not the world's, foremost expert on Roosevelt.
[16] In 1974, when Gable moved into the role of executive director, the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) was on its last leg, having lost many of its members after the organization achieved its goal of turning Sagamore Hill into a museum.
[21] Gable died from inoperable cancer on February 18, 2005 at what was then called North Shore University Hospital at Glen Cove.
[1][20][2][5] Shortly after, the Friends of Sagamore Hill, an organization Gable helped found, named its annual lecture series in his honor.
