Letter from Andrew Jensen to Theodore Roosevelt
Andrew Jensen is concerned by the implications Lea Homer presents in his book The Valor of Ignorance regarding the United States’ lack of military preparedness. He discusses how unprepared he and fellow volunteers were for the realities of war during the Spanish-American War and comments on the country’s lack of patriotism. He asks Theodore Roosevelt for commentary on the possibilities Homer presents, such as Japan seizing the Pacific Coast or a German invasion of America.
