Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Anthony Fiala

Subject(s): Cherrie, George Kruck, 1865-1946, Dangerous animals, Explorers, Indorsements, Lectures and lecturing, Rivers

Theodore Roosevelt is sorry that Anthony Fiala cannot deliver the lectures on exploration himself and thinks George Kruck Cherrie is the best alternative. Roosevelt knows first hand of Cherrie’s capabilities, as they were together throughout the exploration of what was then the largest unknown river in the world. Roosevelt thinks Cherrie is one of the best explorers and doubts if there is a better man to take Fiala’s place.
