President Roosevelt thanks Frederic Remington for the photographs, and remarks that Remington makes very good bronze sculptures. He does not think, however, that any bronze that Remington makes will appeal to him more than The Bronco Buster, a copy of which his regiment, the Rough Riders, gave him after the Spanish-American War. Roosevelt also prizes his copy of the man of the stone age (Paleolithic Man) which Remington sent him, and which Roosevelt thinks looks like “a certain high personage.”
