About this Item
"Talks with T.R." (Theodore Roosevelt) - From the Diaries of John J. Leary, Jr. 1920; Houghton Mifflin Company; Boston and New York. The book contains 13 illustrated pages, including black & white photographs and a facsimile of a letter written in Roosevelt's hand. Here are a few examples of the Contents: * How I Lost My Eye * The Drink Story * The Attempt on His Life * That Gary Dinner * His Hold on the Public * On Election Eve, 1916 * Devil-Fishing * "Trying to Kill Me" * Germans in America * Money-Grubbers * Colonel Roosevelt on Boys * A Tribute to Nurses * Woman in Office * The Value of Masonry * Hitting the Back Trail * On Prohibition From the Preface: "It had been my habit to transcribe carefully in my notebooks these informal talks with the Colonel (Roosevelt). Until this little talk, through which ran a note almost wistful and that all but expressed the hope that he, in turn, would not be caricatured or whitewashed, my idea as to what I would do with them was vague. Eventually, I half thought, the notebooks and their contents might find a resting-place, perhaps, in Harvard College Library, wherein after years the student, seeking material for theme or thesis, might find something of value. Hence this little book, offered to the public in the hope that it will help those who were not privileged above their fellows in knowing him in the flesh, to visualize and know the real Theodore Roosevelt." Condition: The gilt lettering on the spine has faded; worn lower-right corner of front cover; light fraying to bottom edge of spine. Tight binding. The text pages are in great condition - clean with no writing, stains or tears found; some of the pages opposite the illustrated plates have some very light foxing. Crack at the hinge between the front end paper and half title page. Name and date written in pencil on front end paper. Seller Inventory # ABE-1503890134828
