Translation abstract from the German letter of Charles Vogelreiter

Anna Knight translates and summarizes a letter from Charles Vogelreiter to Theodore Roosevelt. Vogelreiter describes some of his personal history, including his experience finding gold in Alaska and defending his claim, helping spark a gold rush in the United States. Knight editorializes some of the letter, saying Vogelreiter “rambles on through two or three more pages, which [she did] not think it necessary to translate,” and sums up the letter as “an indirect appeal for aid.”
