His young wife and his mother had both died on Valentine's Day that year and in the summer his reformist faction had been defeated at the Republican national convention. The isolation and immensity of the Badlands helped him escape these misfortunes and offered a retreat where he could pursue his interest in writing. including his four-volume history of the early frontier" PBS The West.

Roosevelt Theodore
Typed Letter signature excised to Andrew Carnegie as President of The National Arbitration and Peace Congress
Washington DC 1907. 6-1/2 pp. on White House stationery. 4to. Tan cloth chemise signature neatly cut from last leaf not affecting text else fine. 6-1/2 pp. on White House stationery. 4to. TR on War and Peace. An important letter from President Theodore Roosevelt summarizing his views on the goal of abolishing war to Andrew Carnegie who was then the President of the National Arbitration and Peace Congress and ultimately the creator in 1910 of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Roosevelt expresses his regret at not being able to be with Carnegie at the International Peace Conference at the Hague: ". I much regret my inability to be present with you . First and foremost I beseech you to remember that tho it is our bounden duty to work for peace yet it is even more our duty to work for righteousness and justice . Harm and not good would result if the most advanced nations those in which most freedom for the individual is combined with most efficiency in securing orderly justice as between individuals should by agreement disarm and place themselves at the mercy of other peoples less advanced of other peoples still in the stage of military barbarism or military despotism. Anything in the nature of general disarmament would do harm and not good if it left the civilized and peace-loving peoples those with the highest standards of municipal and international obligation and duty unable to shock the other peoples who have no such standards who acknowledge no such obligations . These warnings that I have uttered do not mean that I believe we can do nothing to advance the cause of international peace. On the contrary I believe that we can do much to advance it provided we act with sanity with self-restraint with power; which must be the prime qualities in the achievement of any reform. The nineteenth century saw on the whole a real and great advance in the standard of international conduct both as among civilized nations and by strong nations toward weaker and more backward peoples. The twentieth century will I believe witness a much greater advance in the same direction . More important than reducing the expense of the implements of war is the question of reducing the possible causes of war which can most effectually be done by substituting other methods than war for the settlement of disputes. Of those other methods the most important which is now attainable is arbitration ."<br/>A carefull lengthy and eloquent statement from this President who perhaps more than any others in the nation's history has been charcterized as an imperialist and a warmonger.

ROOSEVELT THEODORE
Typed Letter Signed
New York: np 1913. First edition. no binding. Very Good. PASSIONATE AND IMPORTANT LETTER BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT DEFINING THE NATURE OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. The letter signed and typed by Roosevelt on letterhead of The Outlook magazine where Roosevelt was a contributor and associate editor and dated February 14 1913 is addressed to Progressive Party Committeeman Henry Wallace and reads in full: The Outlook 287 Fourth Avenue New York February 14 1913 My dear Mr. Wallace I have written a letter to Mr Watkins which I hope he will show you. Michigan is to elect a number of State officer and various county city and township officers this Spring. I hope we shall have a straight Progressive ticket put up in the State and in every city and township. I see in the press that the regulars of the Republican Party are endeavoring to absorb our representatives. Now the Progressive Party stands for principals not men. We have in our ranks very many ex-Democrats just as we have very many ex-Republicans. Our loyalty is due to both. 
The present Republican Party is under the absolute control of the men who stole from the rank and file of the Republican Party last June their right to their own choice for President when Mr Taft was fraudulently nominated; and he and his supporters Messrs Barnes Penrose Guggenheim Lorimer and company have no claim to the support of any honest man. The men who follow and support these men can have nothing in common with our plans and ideas of government. 

 The Progressive Party was formed on principles which we believe to be eternal which will live long after the men of this generation have been gathered to their fathers. We are the spiritual heirs of Abraham Lincoln. The feat accomplished last election was an extraordinary feat. It is necessary to continue with the organization and to make a clearcut fight against both the old party machines. I earnest hope that you will make as hard a fight in Michigan as you know how for a straight-out Progressive ticket. Incidentally let me say that the unjustifiable action of the returning officer of Michigan in stealing away from the legally elected candidate in the Twelfth District his office should be used for all that it is worth. This action of itself shows that the Republican leaders in Michigan are not to be trusted in any shape or way and that their protestations of good conduct are worse than worthless. 

Wherever the Republican Party has had the opportunity since election as in Maine and Massachusetts it has put in office reactionaries men of the old machine men committed to the system of bossism in politics and privilege in business. In Michigan in the Twelfth Congressional District these men showed that they are still committed to the principal corrected by hand to "practice" of utter political dishonesty and to the breaking down of the power of the people in favor of the bosses. We are fighting for great principles and we are also fighting for honest citizenship against dishonesty in citizenship. We have a right to hope that Michigan will come to the front on this issue. I would rather that you did not make this letter public but if you desire that any letter shall be made public if you will write to me I will answer it along substantially the lines of this letter. Faithfully yours signed Theodore Roosevelt Background: The date is February 14 1913. The past year - the election year of 1912 - had been quite eventful for Theodore Roosevelt and for the nation. Tensions were high within the Republican Party after President William Howard Taft presidential successor to Roosevelt and fellow Republican failed to carry out the anti-trust crusade that Roosevelt had begun in his own presidential term. Infighting and hostility during the 1912 Republican National Convention in Michigan led to a major schism in the Republican party; namely the creation of the "Progressive" or "Bull Moose" Party led by Theodore Roosevelt the Party's presidential candidate. Although Roosevelt lost to the Democrat Woodrow Wilson he received more votes than the Republican Taft becoming the only third-party candidate in U.S. history to finish higher than third in a presidential election; it was because of the splitting the Republican votes between Taft and Roosevelt that Democrat Woodrow Wilson was able to seize the victory. During this tumultuous political moment Roosevelt reveals in this letter to Progressive Party Committeeman Henry Wallace what he views to be the essence of the Party and outlines a plan for the future. Defining the Progressive Party: Roosevelt emphasizes that the Progressive Party stands for "principles not men" noting specifically that "The Progressive Party was formed on principles which we believe to be eternal which will live long after the men of this generation have been gathered to their fathers. We are the spiritual heirs of Abraham Lincoln." This a critical point for Roosevelt as he tries to elevate the Party beyond the personalities of the moment. It also allows him to underscore the corrupt nature of the Republican Party which as opposed to the Progressives according to Roosevelt has become a reflection of the self-interest of a handful of powerful men. Roosevelt then names some of these men to further illustrate their influence and to reinforce one of his major themes: that it is essential for the Progressives to work hard to restore power to the citizens. On the failures of the Michigan convention and his plan for the future of the Party: "Michigan is to elect a number of State officer and various county city and township officers this Spring. I hope we shall have a straight Progressive ticket put up in the State and in every city and township. I see in the press that the regulars of the Republican Party are endeavoring to absorb our representatives." One of the central tenants of the Progressive platform was a restructuring of American politics through the growth and development of localized parties to best foster direct links between government officials and public opinion. It was because of this focus on local governments that Progressives set their sights on securing seats within state county city and other municipal legislatures. After Roosevelt's loss in the 1912 national election Progressive success in smaller races became all the more important to the future of the Party. On the legacy of the Progressive Party: "We are fighting for great principles and we are also fighting for honest citizenship against dishonesty in citizenship." 
Many have suggested that the rise of the Progressive party seemed a logical next step after the Gilded Age a period of American history in which laborers suffered at the hands of an elite and wealthy few. The Progressive Party Platform of 1912 of which Roosevelt was one of its many co-authors asserted that "In accordance with the needs of each generation the people must use their sovereign powers to establish and maintain equal opportunity and industrial justice to secure which this Government was founded and without which no republic can endure." 

While Roosevelt himself was unable to reach federal office under the Progressive Party name the reforms promoted by himself and his colleagues had lasting impacts on American society culture and economy. Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" drew heavily on the Progressive Party's platform and many of the goals of the Progressive party--anti-trust regulation labor reform health care reforms and crackdowns on political corruption--were all ideas that developed well beyond Roosevelt's era influencing even the politics of today.

I was very much puzzled by the way pumas behaved when I hunted them for it did not seem possible that leopards or jaguars could behave in such manner and yet be the dangerous creatures they were reported. Evidently there is a real psychic difference between the cougar and the other big cats as your observations upon them in captivity show." Roosevelt adds 18 words in his own hand: "In the wild state I personally have known young cougars but never old cougars to frolic and play."

Light creasing from prior folding some faint finger soiling. 1 p. typed letter in blue ink with one manuscript correction on folded leaf of White House stationery with original White House envelope addressed in type. 8vo 9 x 7-1/8 in. TR Praises Melville Post. Roosevelt praises the author Melville Post: "Some of the stories in 'The Character corrected to Corrector of Destinies' I have already read and have enjoyed to the full so I can say with entire sincerity that I genuinely look forward to reading the book. I shall take it up to-night and probably you will have on your conscience the fact that for an evening I have scandously neglected my duties ." Post 1869-1930 was a prolific and popular American author and an important contributor to the crime genre - his recuring character Uncle Abner solved crimes in the backwoods of ante-bellum West Virginia. Roosevelt could read and absorb books at an incredible rate - he supposedly read a book a day before breakfast - and it is likely that he polished off Post's book that very evening. unknown books

ROOSEVELT THEODORE
Typed Letter Signed TLS
New York: np 1913. First edition. nb. ROOSEVELT'S HISTORIC LETTER INVITING MAUD NATHAN TO LEAD THE SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. Women's suffrage was a key element of the Progressive Party's platform during Roosevelt's unsuccessful third-party presidential bid in 1912. In early 1913 despite his loss Roosevelt was not about to give up the fight and continued to aggressively campaign for Progressive causes and candidates throughout the country. <br /> <br /> In this letter from February 18 1913 Roosevelt re-affirms his commitment to women's suffrage by asking the influential reformer and suffragist Maud Nathan to head his "Suffrage Committee" for the Progressive party. <br /> <br /> Written on Roosevelt's "Outlook" stationery the letter reads in full:<br /> <br /> My dear Mrs. Nathan:

The other night we had too much speaking at the Progressive dinner. We should have cut down by one-half the number of speakers and if possible have cut down the number of subjects touched upon. I had to refuse a request from Teddy Robinson to introduce another matter and it would have been quite impossible to introduce the question of those concerts.

<br /> <br /> Now may I ask very warmly that you head the Suffrage Committee in the Progressive Service It is in my judgment essential that we have at the head of that committee a women who is known as much more than only an agitator for suffrage for women. She must be a convinced suffragist eager for the cause; but she must also be identified in the public mind with other movements-that is she must embody our principle that we are for suffrage because women are not merely entitled to it as a right but are entitled to it as a means of rendering more efficient service to the community as a whole. Now my dear Mrs. Nathan you embody this principle. I earnestly ask that you will accept the head of this committee. The chairmanship of this committee if accepted by you will make you one of four people who are directing the policy of the popular government department of the Progressive Party. I need hardly say to you that there are few if any positions of leadership in our party so important as this and I am tempted to say that there are none more important. 

<br /> <br /> Earnestly hoping you can accept even at the cost of considerable personal inconvenience I am 

<br /> <br /> Very sincerely yours
<br /> signedTheodore Roosevelt


<br /> <br /> Maud Nathan did indeed accept Roosevelt's offer and continued to be an aggressive champion for women's rights throughout her life. <br /> <br /> The timing of this letter - February 18 1913 - coincides with a critical moment in the movement for only a few weeks later - on March 3 1913 - thousands of suffragists marched down Pennsylvania Avenue to protest the inauguration of the new president Woodrow Wilson who was hostile to the idea of suffrage a march that would be instrumental for the future success of the movement. <br /> <br /> More on Maud Nathan:<br /> <br /> Maud Nathan "worked tirelessly for woman suffrage an issue that caused a rift in her relations with her family. Her brothers and sister opposed this reform while her cousin Benjamin Cardozo supported a constitutional amendment writing Nathan that his conscience would not allow him to vote against it. 
<br /> <br /> "Frederick Nathan shared his wife's views on equal suffrage leading the Men's League for Equal Suffrage helping to organize the International Men's League at Stockholm and marching in the first suffrage parade. Newspaper accounts of conventions and demonstrations often mention his presence at his wife's side occasionally referring to him as Mr. Maud Nathan. Maud Nathan won the New York Herald Prize in 1913 for the best letter in favor of woman suffrage" Jewish Women's Archive. <br /> <br /> "Of all the American Jewish women who participated in the suffrage movement Maud Nathan was probably the best known at the turn of the century. She believed that Jewish women had a special civic responsibility that could best be demonstrated through social reform and political participation" Melissa R. Klapper Ballots Babies and Banners of Peace: American Jewish Women's Activism 1890-1940. <br /> <br /> Typed Letter Signed. Two 7.5x9.5 inch pages of Roosevelt's Outlook stationery. A few spots of soiling; usual folds; custom folder. With three handwritten emendations in Roosevelt's hand.

ROOSEVELT THEODORE
Typed Letter Signed with Autograph Additions TLS
New York: np 1915. First edition. nb. Very Good. IMPASSIONED LETTER BY ROOSEVELT STRONGLY SUPPORTING NON-SECTARIAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Theodore Roosevelt writes to Michael Schaap a progressive member of the New York legislature with whom the former president shared multiple correspondences opposing "making compulsory the reading of the Bible in Public Schools." While a devout Christian himself who often encouraged others to attend church Roosevelt forcefully articulates his support in the letter for "absolutely non-sectarian public schools." While one may cite the "moral or ethical parts of the Bible so long as this causes no offense to anyone" he argues "it is not our business to have the Protestant Bible or the Catholic Vulgate or the Talmud read in those schools."<br /> <br /> Schaap was a prominent Progressive party member of the state legislature who at the time of this letter was dealing with proposed legislation making Bible reading compulsory in New York public schools. Ultimately the bill went down to defeat in the 1915 session; it was introduced again in the following year but also defeated.<br /> <br /> In the latter half of the letter Roosevelt implores Schaap to "treat this letter as private" later conceding however in a handwritten addition that Schaap could share the correspondence with "Hamilton Fish our one Progressive legislator if he wishes" for he has "so many fights on my hands that there is no use my going into another." <br /> <br /> Dated February 22 1915 and typed on Roosevelt's "Thirty East Forty Second Street New York City" stationery the letter reads in full:<br /> <br /> My dear Schaap:<br /> <br /> Some time or other come in to see me. I see you appeared against the bill making compulsory the reading of the Bible in the Public Schools. If I were in the Legislature or Governor I should vote against or veto that bill because I believe in absolutely non-sectarian public schools. It is not our business to have the Protestant Bible of the Catholic Vulgate or the Talmud read in those schools. There is no objection whatever where the local sentiment favors it for the teacher to read a few verses of the ethical or moral parts of the Bible so long as this causes no offense to anyone. But it is entirely wrong for the law to make this reading compulsory; and the Protestant fanatics who attempt to force this through are playing into the hands of the Catholic fanatics who want to break down the Public Schools system and introduce a system of sectarian schools. I shall ask you to treat this letter as private because I have so many fights on my hands that there is no use my going into another; and just at present our people do not wish me to embark on a general course of lectures to them as to what they should do in the public schools. handwritten You can show this letter however to Hamilton Fish our one Progressive legislator if you wish.<br /> <br /> typed Faithfully yours<br /> signedTheodore Roosevelt<br /> <br /> Typed letter signed "Theodore Roosevelt" to Michael Schaap New York 22 February 1915. With two-line autograph addition. Quarto 7.75x9.5 in one page on Roosevelt's NY stationery. Center crease reinforced on verso hints of toning to edges.

Roosevelt Theodore Jr.
Typed Letter Signed "Theodore Roosevelt" to Seymour Halpern
New York 1929. 1p. on personal "Oyster Bay" letterhead. 8vo. Old folds toning minor chipping at the bottom of the page not affecting text else fine. 1p. on personal "Oyster Bay" letterhead. 8vo. The Most Perilous Time in My Life. Reading in part: "I don't know what the most perilous time in my life was but I suppose it must have been various times during the war. The hunting trip that was the biggest success was the one we have just finished because on that we got the giant panda which has never been shot by a white man before. Neither Kermit nor I really enjoy fully exploring or hunting unless we are together. On this last expedition he had to leave two months before the end and I missed him greatly." <br/><br/>The eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt and First Lady Edith Roosevelt Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt III known as Theodore Jr. grew up listening to his father's stories of wars and great battles and the expectations that every man should do his part. After graduating from Harvard Roosevelt launched a successful career in investment banking. At the outbreak of WWI he volunteered to be one of the first American soldiers to go to France serving as a battalion commander with the First Division where he was gassed and wounded at Soissons in 1918. After the war he served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy Governor of Puerto Rico and Governor-General of the Philippines. In the 1930s he reentered the business world becoming Chairman of the Board of American Express and Vice President of Doubleday Books. Despite arthritis brought on from injuries of the previous war and a serious heart condition that Roosevelt hid from his superiors he returned to active military duty in WWII and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. A cane in one hand a pistol in the other Roosevelt led his troops into action in North Africa Tunisia and the invasion of Sicily where he was cited for "showing complete contempt for personal danger." His insistence on leading his men from the front culminated in June 1944 when he led the first wave of troops ashore at Utah Beach on D-Day during the invasion of Normandy. After being one of the first men on the beach Roosevelt discovered that they had landed south of their objective. He personally reconnoitered the area and returned with a revised plan of attack famously declaring that "We'll start the war from right here." Roosevelt adroitly directed troops to their new objectives remaining cool under intense fire and inspiring confidence in his men. When asked to name the single most heroic action he had ever seen in combat General Omar Bradley replied that it was "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach." Roosevelt died of a heart attack in France a month after the Normandy landings. He received the Medal of Honor which was awarded posthumously for his actions on D-day. unknown books
