We know the following; he is a school teacher or as he states it “a pedagogue†he is a hunter he had a cousin a Major Hersey that served as a “Rough Rider†in Cuba; A fascinating letter the writer is on a hunting trip and through pure chance encounters Theodore Roosevelt who is also in the Meeker Colorado area hunting Mountain Lions with his guide as identified in the letter as John Goff. He relates meeting TR. Arthur gets TR to let him take his "Snap-shot". When Arthur tells TR he is a teacher and his cousin was Maj. Hersey of the Rough Riders. TR "wanted to shake hands with me and so forth. He is as pleasant a man as I ever met." He further relates that TR has a lion on the back of the guide's saddle and describes his dress. Later details are of the writer's success in hunting deer and information on his teaching experience and plans. On this date TR is the Vice President-elect but by the following September he will be the President following the death of McKinley in Buffalo NY. From the New York Times / COL. ROOSEVELT COMING EAST. Killed Twelve Mountain Lions Among Them One Weighing 227 Pounds. MEEKER Col. Feb 16.--Vice President-elect Roosevelt and John Goff rode into Meeker from the Keystone Ranch last night having concluded their hunt for big game in the mountains. When asked for interviews Col. Roosevelt referred the correspondent to Mr. Goff. Mr. Goff said seventeen lions were killed during the hunt and that the Colonel himself killed twelve four with his knife and eight with his rifle. Mr. Goff further stated that Col. Roosevelt killed the largest lion that has been killed in this section weighing 227 pounds and measuring 81/2 feet in the flesh. Mr. Goff states that Col. Roosevelt killed it with his knife. One of the most exciting experiences of the hunt occurred when Col. roosevelt killed his second largest lion. In order to get a shot the Colonel leaned the larger portion of his weighty body over a cliff forty feet high. Goff held him by the leg. The Colonel brought down his game with the first shot. Col. Roosevelt expressed himself as having the most enjoyable time of his life. He will leave Meeker to-day in a special conveyance. He will take the train to-night at Rifle when he probably will go home. unknown

TLS "MISSY" LeHAND. FDR
Interesting for bibliophiles this TLS from Marguerite "Missy" LeHand on behalf of President Roosevelt ordering a group of Children's Books from California bookdealer Maxwell Hunley in 1938. Hunley ran Maxwell Hunley Rare Books in Beverly Hills for many years. LeHand was known as FDR's "Unofficial Wife" and was thought by many to be his mistress. Certainly they we were close and FDR was much attached to her they had connecting rooms at the Governor's mansion in Albany and she acted as his hostess whenever Eleanor was absent. Who knew FDR wanted children's booksOn White House letterhead. Two small holes from tacks at the top of the letter and a small amount of loss to the bottom corner. unknown

[Churchill, Winston S; Franklin Delano Roosevelt]
The Atlantic Charter Broadside.
New York N.Y: The British Library of Information 1941. Rare printed broadside of the historic Atlantic Charter. Folio one page. In fine condition. The broadside measures 8.5 inches by 11 inches. A very nice example. The historic secret Atlantic Conference was held between August 9th and 12th 1941 on a warship anchored in Placentia Bay Newfoundland. At that momentous meeting Winston S. Churchill Franklin Delano Roosevelt and their military aides agreed upon critical policies for the conduct of a joint war against Germany even though the U.S. was still officially neutral and would remain so until December 8. The meetings culminated in the Atlantic Charter a declaration of principles issued a few days after the conference. Often compared to Wilson's Fourteen Points the Charter also laid the foundation for the United Nations Declaration signed by 26 nations in January 1942. Issued on August 14 1941 the Atlantic Charter outlined the aims for the postwar world as follows: no territorial aggrandizement no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people self-determination restoration of self-government to those deprived of it reduction of trade restrictions global co-operation to secure better economic and social conditions for all freedom from fear and want freedom of the seas abandonment of the use of force and disarmament of aggressor nations.

[COOKERY] [ROOSEVELT, Eleanor] TOKLAS, Alice B
AROMAS AND FLAVORS OF PAST AND PRESENT Inscribed to Eleanor Roosevelt
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. Glue stain to the top of the stationery as well as to the top of the endpaper and less so to the facing pastedown. Small dampstain to the heel of the spine which has "841 ER" written in ink as does the spine of the dustwrapper which is dampstained wrinkled and soiled. Very Good in a Good dustwrapper. Extraordinary copy. Early but not first printing. Introduction and comments by Poppy Cannon. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on a piece of Toklas's 5 rue Christine stationery: "For Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt/En souvenir of a memorable meeting in 1934./With appreciation and cordially/Alice Toklas/November 1958." Below this is an inscription by Poppy Cannon in green ink: "and with the deepest and/warmest admiration/from/Poppy/Christmas 1958." The paper now loose was once tipped to the top of the front endpaper and has a corresponding glue stain. It is likely that Toklas wanted to present a copy to Roosevelt and signed the stationery which she then sent to Cannon or her publisher who then tipped it into this copy to give to Roosevelt. With Eleanor Roosevelt's bookplate on the front pastedown and a small Eleanor Roosevelt estate sticker numbered 841 above it. <br/><br/>The memorable meeting Toklas mentions was the invitation extended by Roosevelt to her and Gertrude Stein to have tea at the White House. Toklas provided the meals when Gertrude would hold court in their Paris residence to the likes of Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. James Beard called her one of the "really great cooks of all time." Harper & Brothers Publishers hardcover

[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]
The Democratic Book 1936 SIGNED by FDR
Democratic National Committee 1936. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Folio. Pp. 386. Illustrated with black & white photographs and advertisements. Includes facsimiles of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Bound in publisher's brown textured leather; gilt lettering on cover including the original recipient's name. Of a limited edition signed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt this is hand-numbered copy 1224. This book marks a significant milestone in American politics inasmuch as it served as a fundraiser being sold for $250 per copy a vast sum in the heart of the Great Depression. Thus for the first time a sitting U.S. President actively fundraised for a political party from the White House. At the time it sparked political ethics debates a quaint thought compared to today's administration whose crass wholesaling of the White House for cash is blatant in its disregard for decency.<p>This copy is gilt-stamped with the name "L. H. Swenson" on the front board: all copies of the book were gilt-stamped for specific Convention delegates. (Democratic National Committee) hardcover

[NATURAL HISTORY & ROOSEVELT -- SOUTH & CENTRAL AMERICA]. CHERRIE, George K[ruck].
Dark trails: adventures of a naturalist. . . Foreword by Kermit Roosevelt.
New York: G.P. Putnam’s Sons 1930. Tall 8vo. xvi 322 pp. Photo frontisp. 57 photo illustrations 1 large folding map. Blue publisher’s cloth red lettering front cover & spine colour-illustrated endpapers minor shelfwear rubbing w/ Art Deco cover art minor chipping head & foot of spine minor closed tears creasing some minor scuffing still a VG/VG- copy inscribed by the author on verso of frontisp. to Aubrey Waller Cook 1875-1958 President of the Waggoner Paint Co. in Kansas City MO at the time. First edition stated & inscribed by the author of this exceedingly rare memoir by the famed naturalist and ornithologist quick and considered by President Teddy Roosevelt to have been an “efficient and fearless man.†Many of his expeditions extended through Central and South America as he survived a near-arrest in Peru after being shot in the leg and later survived a shoot-out with one of his disgruntled assistants who shot him in the arm with a shotgun while he was killing the man. After a desperate 90-mile trek to get the injured and delirious Cherrie onto a steamboat he was finally paddled to a hospital while the police hung around to arrest him should he recover. He’s perhaps best remembered for his role in Roosevelt’s famous 1913-1914 “River of Doubt Expedition†when after his loss in the 1912 presidential election Roosevelt struck out on the Roosevelt-Rondon Expedition to map the mysterious Rio da Duvida Amazon River tributary. Several participants were struck down by tropical diseases Roosevelt and Rondon downsized the party to 22 men including Roosevelt his son Kermit and George Cherrie. Within weeks Roosevelt was stricken with fever and infection constantly demanding to be left behind and Kermit and Cherrie refused to do so even though every night he would say “he can’t possibly live until morning.†Very scarce in original dustjacket.

[Politics - Democratic Party - Pennsylvania] Baker, Newton; Roosevelt, Eleanor; et al
Archive of Incoming Correspondence of Ellen Gowen Hood of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia From Colleagues Including Newton Baker 1920s-1940s
V.P. 1940. With fifty-eight letters from Newton Baker 1924-1937. Generally fine condition. Ellen Gowen Hood was active in the Democratic party at both the local and national levels. An obituary from the Philadelphia Daily News in 1970 described her as “one of the earliest local advocates of women in politics.†She was the chairman of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia for 20 years and had regular correspondence with women such as Edith Bolling Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt. <br /> <br /> Democratic women’s clubs became active across the country after the 19th amendment passed in 1920 and the democratic party sought to mobilize women voters. As chairman of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia Hood organized events with prominent political speakers and then had the speeches printed in book format. Without Hood’s side of the correspondence we don’t get insight into her philosophy of women’s participation in politics. We do however get a sense for the role that the club played in the Democratic Party. Baker was a periodic guest of the luncheon club and in his letters he praised the organization saying “I think I have never addressed a more intelligent or obviously influential audience†and "I think there is no more useful forum anywhere. They print the addresses made at their luncheons and give them a wide circulation throughout the country so that their pamphlets are now in libraries and in the hands of studious and thoughtful people everywhere." As an avid supporter of Wilsonian ideas and the League of Nations Hood’s political intention with the club seems more focused on bringing speakers that would highlight those causes than specifically speaking to women’s participation in politics.<br /> <br /> The letters from Baker to Hood reveal their shared political beliefs and goals. Their letters are ongoing conversations about the League of Nations and the World Court; the Democratic Conventions in 1924 1928 and 1932; and how democrats should govern following the Great Depression and prohibition. Baker frequently recommends essays and speeches for Hood to read and also helps connect her with potential speakers for the Luncheon Club. He addresses her as a political peer and we also get a sense of her professional persistence and savvy -- in nearly every letter for twenty years Baker responds to her requests for him to come and speak at the club.<br /> <br /> The letters give insight into Baker’s political beliefs as they evolve through the 1920s and 1930s. In the 20s-30s he writes as his thinking on the League of Nations changes from strongly feeling that the United States should join to discouraging it until there is complete support. In one letter Baker describes in confidence one of the only times he disagreed with President Wilson as Secretary of War -- when Wilson sent American troops to North Russia at the end of World War I. In a few memorable letters from 1932 Baker writes about his experience of the 1932 democratic convention and his sense of relief when he was not chosen for nomination.<br /> <br /> The letters also exhibit Baker’s writing style and his tendency to wax poetic about democratic politics. For example speaking about the limitations of the Democratic Party he writes “The trouble about it all is that nobody has yet invented anything better for the long run and the steady pull than democracy and so we just have to be patient with it as we are with the small misdoings of our children and take our joy out of the sure forecast of their fine performance when they have matured.â€<br /> <br /> Other correspondences in the collection include letters from Edith Bolling Wilson Eleanor Roosevelt Secretary of State Cordell Hull historian and diplomat Claude Bowers and Bess Truman. There are also several letters from Ralph Hayes Baker’s wartime secretary in the war department and a central figure in Baker’s 1932 presidential campaign. These letters go into detail about Baker’s role at the 1932 convention his legacy on labor issues and a rumor that he was Jewish.<br /> <br /> Overall the collection provides insight into Democratic Women’s Clubs of the period. We suspect the Baker letters to exist in duplicate at his archive but the collection still provides a succinct opportunity for research on the subject. <br /> <br /> Please contact us for a full inventory. unknown
