Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt believes that George Shiras has a duty to write about what he has seen and done, and to write a preface that details his family’s record of hunting in the wilderness dating back to his great-grandfather. He reminds Shiras that being able to write and take pictures is worthless unless you leave a permanent record of what you have done.
