Historian Ray H. Mattison argues against a study to investigate the repositories of Theodore Roosevelt’s papers in order to collect the information necessary to conduct an archaeological investigation of the Elkhorn Ranch site. He believes that such a study would be redundant as several historians have already researched Roosevelt’s time in the Dakotas. Mattison suggests contacting the relevant historians before beginning a study, and that new information may be revealed through an examination of the papers of William Wingate Sewall, one of Roosevelt’s foremen who helped construct the ranch.
