Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank Basil Tracy

Subject(s): Canada, Grazing--Fees, International relations, Parkman, Francis, 1823-1893

President Roosevelt tells Frank Basil Tracy of the Boston Evening Transcript that he has not looked enough into Francis Parkman’s treatment of Canadians to answer the matter in question, but does say that Parkman had an unusual sympathy with the difficulties facing the men who did the work on the ground. Roosevelt is interested in the range article, and points out that the government has started to help the situation by charging a fee for cattle pastured on reserves.
