President Theodore Roosevelt and his only child with his first wife, Alice Hathaway Lee Roosevelt. Longworth led an unconventional and controversial life.

First edition, with Scribner's "A" on copyright page. This copy is inscribed to William Safire, a conservative political theorist and author. While there's little evidence to support a meaningful relationship between the pair, in 1968 Roosevelt and Safire did correspond regarding whether Roosevelt coined the phrase "little man on a wedding cake" as a description of Thomas E. Dewey, the 1944 Republican nominee. The origins of the description are still debated, though Roosevelt is generally credited. 1399840. Special Collections. Seller Inventory # 1399840
