‎THEODORE ROOSEVELT‎

‎President Theodore Roosevelt Declines To Write A Book From The White House: I Never Can Write Unless I Feel It Borne In On Me To Do So And Of Course To Think Of Writing Even A Sentence For Such A Book At Present Would Be Impossible‎

‎THEODORE ROOSEVELT 1858-1919. Roosevelt was the Twenty-Sixth President. ROGER LIVINGSTON SCAIFE 1875-1951. Scaife an author was the head of publicity at Houghton Mifflin and later at Harvard University Press.TLS. 1pg. March 13 1907. Washington. A typed letter signed Theodore Roosevelt as President. The letter is on The White House letterhead and is addressed to Roger. L. Scaife at Houghton Mifflin: I have your letter of the 11th. I greatly like Dean Briggs book. It would however be out of the question for me even to think of writing such a book now. I never can write unless I feel it borne in on me to do so and of course to think of writing even a sentence for such a book at present would be impossible. LeBaron Russell Briggs a Dean at Harvard University taught a young Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the time of this writing Briggs was the second President of Radcliffe College. In 1904 as TR alluded to Briggs authored The Transition from School to College. The letter has even toning to the letter and lightness around the edges from a previous framing. The Roosevelt autograph is dark and the President added two words in his handwriting. There is a horizontal mailing fold. unknown‎

‎President Theodore Roosevelt and Naturalist John Burroughs Debate Whether Animals Consciously Teach Their Young a Question TR Feels is Important‎

‎1/8/03. <blockquote><p>A century later TR was proven right showing the depth of his understanding of wildlife</p><p>“I should be rather surprised if it proved true that the higher monkey did not occasionally teach its offspring on some point or other in a way analogous - even if somewhat remotely analogous - to the way in which a Bushman teaches his or her offspring… It seems to me that no harm will come from its being known that we differ on this point. It is a very interesting and important one and the fact that there is this difference may serve all the more to attract attention to it.â€</p></blockquote><p>No U.S. president is more popularly associated with nature and wildlife than is Theodore Roosevelt – life-long naturalist prodigious hunter tireless adventurer and visionary conservationist. As president Roosevelt provided federal protection for almost 230 million acres of land an area equivalent to the entire Eastern Seaboard from Maine to Florida. He initiated the U.S. Forest Service and sat aside 150 national forests; he signed the Antiquities Act and pursuant to it created the first 18 national monuments including the Grand Canyon and Muir Woods; an ardent ornithologist he set up the first 51 federal bird reservations; he named five national parks and added lands to a sixth – Yosemite; by executive order he established the first four national game preserves including the National Range; and the instituted first 24 reclamation or federal irrigation projects. As a naturalist crusader TR’s impact went far beyond the simple accomplishments; it resulted in changing the way people thought about the need to preserve America’s natural treasures.</p><p>Nature was Theodore Roosevelt’s first passion. The young TR started to write natural history essays which are the first examples of serious scientific scholarship on his part. At age nine he wrote his first long-form essay “The Natural History of Insects.†The area of zoology which interested him the most was ornithology. The family’s trip down the Nile in 1872 provided the fourteen year old Roosevelt with a unique opportunity. He approached the trip as an official scientific expedition for the collection of specimens for the Roosevelt Museum of Natural History. With his sister TR prowled the shores of the Nile observing and hunting its fowl in fact it was his desire to collect specimens that led to his interest in hunting. Often he ventured further inland from the shore and the result was his essay “Ornithology of Egypt Between Cairo and Aswanâ€. Roosevelt begins his essay by describing the unique ecosystem of the Nile and then launches into a detailed look at the nine “true desert birds.†He pays particular attention to coloration and daily behaviors of each species of bird and tries to compare the birds both to what he has read about them and to other birds he knows.</p><p>Roosevelt continued his natural history “hobby†throughout his life writing articles and participating in debates even during his presidency. His two best known expeditions Africa and South America were both sponsored scientific expeditions that in addition to affording TR an opportunity to hunt and obtain specimens for his own collection gathered valuable natural history data for some of the world’s most prominent museums including the Smithsonian Institution. So as happens sometimes the youthful passions of one individual can result in the creation of some truly wonderful things. Roosevelt was well acquainted with the noted naturalists of the time. In 1903 he went with John Muir to Yosemite camping and posing for pictures on Overhanging Rock at the top of Glacier Point . He had written Muir “I want to drop politics absolutely for four days and just be out in the open with you.â€</p><p>John Burroughs contributed to the American understanding of nature through his large literary output which included works about Henry David Thoreau and his friend Walt Whitman whom he admired. In 1903 Burroughs published an article in The Atlantic Monthly that challenged the sentimental and improbable characterizations of animals then being published by those he termed “nature fakers.†A battle lasting half a decade ensued as naturalists sided with Burroughs or with those he criticized. Roosevelt became well acquainted with Burroughs. In April 1903 the two men toured Yellowstone Park together and Burroughs wrote about it in Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt. In planning the two-week trip to the park Roosevelt had written Burroughs “For the last 18 months I have taken everything as it came from coal strikes to trolley cars and I feel I am entitled to a fortnight to myself.†TR arrived in time to set the Roosevelt Arch’s cornerstone in a grand ceremony. Roosevelt esteemed Burroughs and called him Oom John the Roosevelts were of Dutch extraction an affectionate term meaning “uncle†in Dutch. John Burroughs continued to correspondent with TR for years.</p><p>In the years 1903-1905 TR and Burroughs engaged in a public debate on a very important question of animal behavior: Do animals consciously teach their young</p><p>During that time Burroughs was working on his book Ways of Nature a collection of essays published in 1905. In that book Burroughs took the position he had been espousing to Roosevelt that animals don’t consciously teach their young and specifically stated that Roosevelt held a different opinion. Burroughs wrote: “I am convinced there is nothing in the notion that animals consciously teach their young. Is it probable that a mere animal reflects upon the future any more than it does upon the past Is it solicitous about the future well-being of its offspring any more than it is curious about its ancestry Persons who think they see the lower animals training their young consciously or unconsciously supply something to their observations; they read their own thoughts or preconceptions into what they see. Yet so trained a naturalist and experienced a hunter as President Roosevelt differs with me in this matter.â€</p><p>Burroughs then quotes a letter that TR wrote to him prior to publication of Ways of Nature disagreeing with Burroughs and staking out his position that animals do teach their young. TR: ""I have not the slightest doubt that there is a large amount of unconscious teaching by wood-folk of their offspring. In unfrequented places I have had the deer watch me with almost as much indifference as they do now in the Yellowstone Park. In frequented places where they are hunted young deer and young mountain sheep on the other hand—and of course young wolves bobcats and the like—are exceedingly wary and shy when the sight or smell of man is concerned. Undoubtedly this is due to the fact that from their earliest moments of going about they learn to imitate the unflagging watchfulness of their parents and by the exercise of some associative or imitative quality they grow to imitate and then to share the alarm displayed by the older ones at the smell or presence of man. A young deer that has never seen a man feels no instinctive alarm at his presence or at least very little; but it will undoubtedly learn to associate extreme alarm with his presence from merely accompanying its mother if the latter feels such alarm. I should not regard this as schooling by the parent any more than I should so regard the instant flight of twenty antelope who had not seen a hunter because the twenty-first has seen him and has instantly run. Sometimes a deer or an antelope will deliberately give an alarm-cry at sight of something strange. This cry at once puts every deer or antelope on the alert; but they will be just as much on the alert if they witness nothing but an exhibition of fright and flight on the part of the first deer or antelope without there being any conscious effort on its part to express alarm. Moreover I am inclined to think that on certain occasions rare though they may be there is a conscious effort at teaching. I have myself known of one setter dog which would thrash its puppy soundly if the latter carelessly or stupidly flushed a bird. Something similar may occur in the wild state among such intelligent beasts as wolves and foxes. Indeed I have some reason to believe that with both of these animals it does occur—that is that there is conscious as well as unconscious teaching of the young in such matters as traps.""</p><p>Early in the debate in 1903 Roosevelt wrote Burroughs defining their differences and his opinion on the question of animals teaching their young. <strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House letterhead Washington August 1 1903 to Burroughs saying he would be surprised if animals did not. <em>“Dear Oom John: I return the papers herewith. You will notice that I have toned down what I have said so as to make it tentative rather than dogmatic. As regards the ‘unconscious teaching’ I think the difference between you and myself is largely one of mere terminology. Perhaps I did not formulate to myself quite what I myself meant; that is whether I meant the communication of knowledge. On the other hand is it not possible that emotion and knowledge are not yet clearly differentiated in the brute mind. Don't you think that we are apt to lump all animals together. as opposed to man in a very unwarranted way Profound though the gulf is between the highest monkey and the highest man I think the gap between the highest monkey and an African Bushman is in all respects far less than that between the same monkey and the herring. I should be surprised to find that the salamander or the herring ever in any shape or way did anything that remotely resembled teaching its offspring. On the other hand I should be rather surprised if it proved true that the higher monkey did not occasionally teach its offspring on some point or other in a way analogous - even if somewhat remotely analogous - to the way in which a Bushman teaches his or her offspring.</em></p><p><em>""However I have not data sufficient to be sure beyond question on the point of conscious teaching and the examples I have given of unconscious teaching may refer to the communication of emotion rather than of knowledge. It seems to me that no harm will come from its being known that we differ on this point. It is a very interesting and important one and the fact that there is this difference may serve all the more to attract attention to it. You are an infinitely more competent observer than I am my dear Sir but all honest observation by a man capable of seeing things at all as they are may be of some service; and perhaps it is just as well that we who on most points agree so exactly should be set down as differing somewhat - even though the difference is more apparent than real on this matter. It may be a good thing to show that you are not quarreling with people because they differ in matters of opinion though you think it necessary to controvert this opinion; that you are quarrel is with the people who deliberately falsify facts or put down sheer inventions and from these fortifications and inventions as premises deduce ridiculous conclusions. The day we passed at your house was one of the pleasantest we have passed this summer.""</em></p><p>A few months later Roosevelt wrote Burroughs again clarifying his position further but sticking to it. “Where I speak of ‘unconscious teaching’ I really mean simply acting in a manner which arouses imitation…I think there has been preposterous exaggeration among those who speak of the conscious teaching by animals of their young but I fool that the balance of proof certainly is in favor of this being at least occasionally true.â€</p><p>This fascinating debate was before its time. According to the National Wildlife Federation only in 2006 was it firmly established that at least as to some animals Roosevelt was right. They do teach their young.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown‎

‎President Theodore Roosevelt Praises the Contribution of a Journalist at the Front With His Rough Riders in Cuba‎

‎11/6/03. <blockquote><p><span style=""font-weight: 400;"">A ""wonderful letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Burroughs</span><span style=""font-weight: 400;""> which illustrates the longevity and closeness of their bond"" --Edward F. O'Keefe biographer and CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation</span><span style=""font-weight: 400;""> </span></p></blockquote><p> </p><p>The Rough Riders are one of the most famous fighting units in American history and his leadership of them made Theodore Roosevelt’s career. In April of 1897 TR was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy as a reward for his tireless campaigning for the newly elected President William McKinley. When the U.S.S. Maine blew up in Havana harbor the Spanish were blamed and an outcry for war arose. From that moment Roosevelt believed that trying to prevent the war would be impossible. He sprang into action moving ammunition readying ships for action and moving to have Congress allow for enlisting unlimited sailors. TR also made it known to the President and others that if war came he wanted to leave his post behind a desk in Washington and head for the front.</p><p>Congress declared war on April 25 1898 and that same day Roosevelt was officially offered and accepted second in command of the Rough Riders; he would soon take over full command of the unit. He immediately set about assembling and training the regiment which was made up of an effective assemblage of Western cowboys and frontiersmen and Eastern athletes and sons of prominent citizens. This composition reflected TR’s own interests. The unit was mustered into service between May 1 and May 21 1898 in various locations in Texas New Mexico and what was then termed “Indian Territory†Arizona and Oklahoma. At the time of muster in the unit consisted of 47 officers and 994 enlisted men. It was trained quickly in San Antonio Texas and on May 27 it was ordered to Port Tampa Florida to prepare for the invasion of Cuba. It left for the front in Cuba on June 13.</p><p>John Burroughs contributed to the American understanding of nature through his large literary output which included works about Henry David Thoreau and his friend Walt Whitman whom he admired. In 1903 Burroughs published an article in The Atlantic Monthly that challenged the sentimental and improbable characterizations of animals then being published by those he termed “nature fakers.†A battle lasting half a decade ensued as naturalists sided with Burroughs or with those he criticized. Roosevelt felt as Burroughs did. In April 1903 the two men toured Yellowstone Park together and Burroughs wrote about it in Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt published in 1906. In planning the two-week trip to the park he had written Burroughs “For the last 18 months I have taken everything as it came from coal strikes to trolley cars and I feel I am entitled to a fortnight to myself.†TR arrived in time to set the Roosevelt Arch’s cornerstone in a grand ceremony. In 1907 Roosevelt publicly entered the nature-fakers controversy when he gave an interview and circulated an article defending Burroughs and stating his own views. Roosevelt esteemed Burroughs and called him Oom John the Roosevelts were of Dutch extraction an affectionate term meaning “uncle†in Dutch. John Burroughs continued to correspondent with TR for years.</p><p>Caspar Whitney was a well known journalist who submitted articles from the front in Cuba during the Spanish American War.  At the Battle of Las Guasimas he accompanied General Young's 1st and 10th Regular Cavalry. His published map of the battle is considered the most accurate of that action published at that time. He also accompanied TR and his troops to Cuba where he reported on the movements of the Rough Riders and others.</p><p>From 1900 he was an owner and editor-in-chief of the monthly Outing magazine which promoted the outdoors and sporting pursuits as well as a good deal of adventure fiction; authors included Jack London and Clarence E. Mulford. He was a founding member of The Explorers Club after expeditions in North and South America. He wrote “On Snow-Shoes to the Barren Grounds – Twenty-Eight Hundred Miles After Musk-Oxen and Wood-Bison†a novel based on his 1894 expedition into North America’s northern wilderness. The Barren Grounds is the name given to the vast tract of then-uninhabited and almost unexplored land which lies to the north of Athabasca stretching well up to the shores of the Arctic Ocean and eastward to Hudson's Bay whose approximate area is 350000 square miles where no man has or can have a dwelling place and whose only living creature is the musk ox that last object of longing with the hunt.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> June 11 1903<em> “I have just received your letter. How would some time in the week after the Fourth of July suit you for us to visit Slab Sides Won't you tell me the dates you are probably to be away Probably I could suit our visit to those dates.<br /></em><br /><em>“What a ridiculous creature the Rev. Long is!  Now a word as to Whitney the Editor of Outing; of course I shall ask you to treat this as confidential. Whitney is a man of remarkable powers in certain lines and he has done a great deal of out of door work. At Santiago I was an eye-witness of his really noteworthy resolution and daring his power of standing fatigue exhaustion and exposure in midsummer in the tropics. Very few of the soldiers in our army could do as well as he did. His trip to the barren grounds in midwinter was also a noteworthy achievement. But I happen to know that he is entirely untrustworthy as an observer along certain lines. I found that he had done some hunting of bears and mountain lions and I once got him to write an article about the latter. It was a farrago of nonsense and he had evidently so mixed up what he imperfectly remembered with what had been told him and what he had loosely accepted as true that the whole article was absolutely valueless. Not merely did it add nothing new to our knowledge but I am convinced that it asserted a great deal that was positively not so. In Outing he has published several articles so preposterous so false on their face that at first I used to call his attention to it but after a while I gave it up. It is a pity as Outing is a magazine which in some ways has done excellent work….â€</em></p> unknown‎
