Letter from R. W. Boone to Theodore Roosevelt
R. W. Boone read and greatly enjoyed President Roosevelt’s book The Winning of the West. Boone’s great-great-grandfather is Daniel Boone, and Boone enjoyed reading about his heritage and thinking about his ancestor’s role in history. Boone invites Roosevelt to North Carolina the next time he wants to shoot a bear, and will also ask his friend Senator Alexander Stephens Clay to introduce them the next time Boone is in town.
