Charles O. Bishop explores the origins of the friendship between Theodore Roosevelt and Joseph Bucklin Bishop. Bishop traces the relationship to the time when Roosevelt served as a police commissioner in New York City, and Joseph Bucklin Bishop publicized Roosevelt’s work in his newspaper editorials. Bishop notes Joseph Bucklin Bishop’s disregard for Andrew D. Parker, another member of the police commission, and he highlights Bishop’s work on the Isthmian Canal Commission and Roosevelt’s request that Bishop write his biography.
Four photographs of Joseph Bucklin Bishop supplement the text.
