Original Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders Photograph.
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1899. Rare original sepia-toned photograph of Theodore Roosevelt and Commander Leonard Wood leading a regimental drill with the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry in San Antonio Texas. The photograph was featured as a double page engraved illustration in Roosevelt's best-selling work The Rough Riders. San Antonio was a pivotal location in the cavalry's history as it was from the Menger Hotel that Roosevelt conceived of and formed the group. In 1905 a Rough Riders reunion convened in San Antonio at the end of the campaign season and before the commencement of Roosevelt's second term as president. Matted and framed with fragments from historic army San Antonio photographer D.P. Barr's original presentation mat in a sleeve to the verso. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by by 11.5 inches. Accompanied by a first edition of The Rough Riders in the original cloth with the frontispiece of Theodore Roosevelt with tissue guard illustrations top edge gilt. In near fine condition with period ownership inscription to the front free endpaper. Rare and desirable an attractive pairing. Colonel Leonard Wood and Theodore Roosevelt founded of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry in 1898 at the onset of the Spanish-American War. Hostilities between the United States and Spain began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in Cuba prompting intervention by the United States in the Cuban War of Independence fought against Spain. President William McKinley appointed Wood to organize the volunteer brigade who in turn appointed Roosevelt as his second in command. Nicknamed the "Rough Riders" by journalists the cavalry engaged in several battles and was made of mostly college athletes cowboys ranchers and outdoorsmen from the southwest portion of the U.S. The term 'Rough Riders' was familiar at the time from Buffalo Bill whose famous western show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World" gained popularity throughout the late 19th century. The Rough Riders remains Roosevelt's best-selling work and provides incredible insight into one of the most fascinating regiments in American military history. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover books

Roosevelt Theodore
Progressive Era Battle Flag: Theodore Roosevelt.
1912. Progressive era "Battle Flag" from 1912 with a printed portrait of Theodore Roosevelt at the center surrounded by the text "Progressive/Roosevelt 1912 Battle Flag" with the initials "D & C" at the lower left. The flag measures 21 inches by 24 inches. Frustrated that he did not win the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 1912 Roosevelt founded the Progressive or the "Bull Moose" party in order to challenge the Republican incumbent William Howard Taft. Both would ultimately lose to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Framed. An exceptional example. The Progressive Party was a third party in the United States formed in 1912 by former President Theodore Roosevelt after he lost the presidential nomination of the Republican Party to his former protege incumbent President William Howard Taft. The new party was known for taking advanced positions on progressive reforms and attracting some leading reformers. After the party's defeat in the 1912 presidential election it went into rapid decline disappearing by 1918. The Progressive Party was popularly nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party" since Roosevelt often said that he felt "strong as a bull moose" both before and after an assassination attempt on the campaign trail. As a member of the Republican Party Roosevelt had served as President from 1901 to 1909 becoming increasingly progressive in the later years of his presidency. In the 1908 presidential election Roosevelt helped ensure that he would be succeeded by Secretary of War Taft. After Taft took office he hewed closer to the conservative wing of the party and this and other actions alienated Roosevelt from his former friend. Progressive Republican leader Robert La Follette had already announced a challenge to Taft for the 1912 Republican nomination but many of his supporters shifted to Roosevelt after the former President decided to seek a third presidential term which was permissible under the Constitution prior to the ratification of the Twenty-second Amendment. At the 1912 Republican National Convention Taft narrowly defeated Roosevelt for the party's presidential nomination. After the convention Roosevelt Frank Munsey George Walbridge Perkins and other progressive Republicans established the Progressive Party and nominated a ticket of Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson of California at the 1912 Progressive National Convention. The new party attracted several Republican officeholders although nearly all of them remained loyal to the Republican Party--in California Johnson and the Progressives took control of the Republican Party. The party's platform built on Roosevelt's Square Deal domestic program and called for several progressive reforms. The platform asserted that "to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day". Proposals on the platform included restrictions on campaign finance contributions a reduction of the tariff and the establishment of a social insurance system an eight-hour workday and women's suffrage. The party was split on the regulation of large corporations with some party members disappointed that the platform did not contain a stronger call for "trust-busting". Party members also had different outlooks on foreign policy with pacifists like Jane Addams opposing Roosevelt's call for a naval build-up. In the 1912 election Roosevelt won 27.4% of the popular vote compared to Taft's 23.2% making Roosevelt the only third party presidential nominee to finish with a higher share of the popular vote than a major party's presidential nominee. Both Taft and Roosevelt finished behind Democratic nominee Woodrow Wilson who won 41.8% of the popular vote and the vast majority of the electoral vote. unknown books

Roosevelt Theodore
The Naval War of 1812 or the History of the United States Navy During the Last War With Great Britain.
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons 1882. Rare first edition of Theodore Roosevelt's landmark first book. Octavo original blue cloth titles the spine in gilt gilt vignette to the front panel. The Naval War of 1812 was Roosevelts first book published two years after his completion at Harvard. It is considered a seminal work in its field and had a massive impact on the formation of the modern American Navy and is considered one of the best in its field. It was a considerable achievement for the 23-year-old Roosevelt who had to learn the technical side of naval terminology and technology. While it was criticized by some for being scholarly and boring it did well going through four editions in six years. In 1886 just four years after being published the U.S. Navy ordered a copy of the book to be placed on every ship. It also affected Roosevelt's later career bringing his attention to the importance of a strong navy on power. He would go on to be Assistant Secretary of the Navy where he modernized and built the American navy. This contributed significantly to America's rise as a world power. In very good condition with some reinforcement to the front endpaper. G.P. Putnam's Sons hardcover books
