Letter from Orison Swett Marden to Theodore Roosevelt
Orison Swett Marden knows Theodore Roosevelt is interested in students who pay their way through college and sends a copy of his book Pushing to the Front, which many students sell through canvassing. The original edition has been translated into many languages and has been used as a textbook internationally. President William McKinley and British politician W. E. Gladstone praised it, and Marden receives numerous testimonials of its role in an individual’s success. Marden asks Roosevelt for a commendation of the newest edition.
