Gregory A. Wynn chronicles the work of the sculptor Vincenzo Miserendino who Wynn believes has produced the finest likenesses of Theodore Roosevelt. Wynn highlights two Miserendino bronze sculptures of Roosevelt placed in Mount Vernon, New York, and Boone, Iowa. Wynn provides a biography of Miserendino and notes his body of work, but he focuses on the five different sculptures he created with Roosevelt as his subject. Wynn notes the location and status of Miserendino’s Roosevelt sculptures. 

 

Six photographs of Miserendino’s sculptures supplement the text.
