About the Book
On Tour with Theodore Roosevelt is a chronological photographic record of Theodore Roosevelt and what life was like during the presidential campaign of 1900. This work is entirely composed of original, previously unpublished photographs of then New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt campaigning in Michigan, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.
Many of the photographs have a hand-written caption on verso, which identifies the subject and location and are such noted in the complementing text. The dates of the photographs are guestimates based on the knowledge of Roosevelt’s day-to-day campaign activities and provide the reader with a timeline of events.
Bonus Material: Included only with this publication is access to all of the commercially produced Theodore Roosevelt audio recordings, the four incredibly rare 1898 Berliner Gramophone recordings of Chief Trumpeter Emil Cassi of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, and 15 videos, all in one place!
